We have audited the accompanying Financial Statements of NIKS TECHNOLOGY LIMITED ('the
Company'), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss
and the 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.
OPINION
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 Act 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 31st March, 2024, the profit and total income, and its cash flows for
the year ended on that date.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit of the financial statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of 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 independence requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under,
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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Financial Statements.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Company's annual report is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the financial statements does
not cover the other information and we will 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 the Company's annual report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY 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 and presentation 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 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 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, 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. Those Board of Directors are also responsible
for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
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.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters
which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder.
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
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures 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 risks 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. 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.
