We have audited the financial statements of INDIAN
EMULSIFIER LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprise
the balance sheet as at 31st March 2025, and the statement
of profit and loss, (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 therein.
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 in the manner so required and give
a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and its profit,
(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 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.
Information Other than the Financial Statements
and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for
the other information. 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position, financial performance,
(changes in equity) 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. 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 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, the Board of
Directors 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 Board
of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are 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:
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
d. 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.
e. 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.
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.
