We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Shivansh Finserve
Limited (the 'Company') which comprise 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 standalone financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as "standalone financial statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the aforesaid standalone 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, its Loss, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the
year then ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) as specified under
section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in
the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by
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 Act 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 on the standalone 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 Standalone financial statements of the current period. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone 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 is no key audit matter to communicate in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the Other Information. The Other
Information comprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to
Board's Report and Management Discussion & Analysis (but does not include the standalone
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon).
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read
the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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 the Management and those charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in India. The 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 judgement and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls, that were operating effectively or ensuring accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone 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.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 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 standalone financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section
143(3)(i) of the Act, 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 polices used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the 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
standalone 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 standalone financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone 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.
