We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Richfield
Financial Services Ltd. ('the company') which comprise the Balance
Sheet as at 31 March 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash
Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in the section 134(S) of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') with
respect to 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 principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also include
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provision of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the company and for
preventing and detecting fraud 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 misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provision of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder including the accounting and auditing standards and the
matters which are required to be included in the audit report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 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 misstatements. An audit involves performing
procedure to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend
on the Auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risk of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal financial control relevant to the company's preparation of the
financial statements that give a true and fair view, in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in
place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial
reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the
Company's Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
We believe that audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial
statements.
