We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of Palm Jewels Limited ("the
Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2025, the Statement of
Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Cash Flows
and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred
to as "Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations
given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair
view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133
of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as
amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2025, the Profit and total
comprehensive Income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that
date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under
those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit
of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there
under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters. We have not identified any of such matters that are to be reported separately
here during the current period.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Director's
Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course
of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we
have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the
Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section
134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation and
presentation of these Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and
changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (Ind
AS).
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company
and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that
are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of
the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting
process.
Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under
section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on
whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the
operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the
related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We
consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our
audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of
any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have
complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to
communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be
thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
