We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Sofcom Systems
Limited (the "Company") which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, the
Statement of Profit and Loss, Including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income,
statement of changes in equity and the cash Flow statement for the year then ended,
and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of material
accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as "the
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, as amended ("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 March 31, 2025, its profit including
other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year
ended on that date.
Basis of Opinion
We conducted our audit of the accompanying standalone financial statements in
accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under section 143(10) of
the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditor's Responsibility 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 Act 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 audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial
statements. __
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit matters ('KAM') 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 financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
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 accompanying standalone financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the accompanying 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 accompanying standalone financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained during the course of our 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.
2. Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are 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 state of financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under
Section 133 of the Act read with the companies (Indian Accounting standard) Rules,
2015, as amended. 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 standalone financial statements, the management and board of
directors are 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.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial
reporting process.
3. Auditor's Responsibility for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accompanying
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 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 standalone 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 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 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 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 accompanying
standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the
accompanying standalone financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company, 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
accompanying standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March
31, 2025, 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.
