LIMITED ('the Company') which comprise the Balance sheet as at March
31, 2014, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement
for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the
Act") read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September 2013
of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the
companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.
