We have audited the accompanying financial statements of THE DHAR
TEXTILE MILLS LTD. which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2014 and the Statement of Profit and Loss 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 and
financial performance 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 give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's 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 audit opinion.
