We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of FGP LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"),
which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March
2024, the Statement of Profit & Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), Statement of Changes in Equity
and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on
that date, and Notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
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 March 31, 2024 and
its Profit, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year
ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the Ind AS financial statements
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s)
specified under section 143(10) of the Companies
Act,2013. 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 ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and the Rules made thereunder, 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 obtained by us is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our 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 Ind AS 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 determined that there are no key audit matters to
communicate in our report for the year ended 31st March,
2024.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and
Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the preparation of other information. The
other information comprises the information included in
the Annual Report, for example Management Discussion
and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to
Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does
not include the financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this report.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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
identified above when it becomes available and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
When we read Annual Report, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to those charges with
governance and take necessary actions as applicable
under the relevant laws and regulations.
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 of
these Ind AS financial statements that give a true and
fair view of the financial position, financial performance,
including other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the accounting Standards
specified under section 133 of the Act. 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 implementation
and maintenance 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 Ind AS 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 the Management
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities 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 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 control relevant
to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section
143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 the 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements
of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we
determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
