We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of Gallops Enterprise
Limited (“the Company”) which comprises the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2024, the
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Statement of
Changes in Equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 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 Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Act in
the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Ind AS and
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as
at March 31, 2024, and profit/loss, total comprehensive income, the changes in equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Ind AS
financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, 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 Ind AS financial statements as a
whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters. We have not observed any matters that classifies as the key audit matter to
be communicated in our audit report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the 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
standalone 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 in the 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 Ind AS
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, change in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and accounting
principles generally accepted in India, specified under section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility
also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
implementation and maintenance of 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 Ind AS financial statement 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 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 also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Ind AS Financial Statement
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements 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 Ind AS 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Ind AS 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.
