…………

records and preparing financial statements, which give a true and fair view
and have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, 1956. You
are also responsible for making available to us, as and when required, all the
branch’s accounting records and all other records and related information,
including minutes of all management and shareholders’ meetings.

1.2 We have a statutory responsibility to report to the statutory auditors whether in our
opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the
company’s affairs and of the profit or loss for the period and whether they
have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, 1956. In
arriving at our opinion, we are required to consider

(a) Whether proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept
by the branch and where appropriate proper returns adequate for out
audit have been received from branches not visited by us;

in agreement with the books of accounts;

under clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 274;

In addition, there are certain other matters, which, according to the


circumstances, may need to be dealt with our report.
1.3 We have a professional responsibility to report if the financial statement do not
comply in any material respect with accounting standards and whether
adequate disclosure has been made concerning the departure from
Accounting Standards and whether the departure is such that the financial
statements do not give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of profit or
loss.

Our audit will be conducted in accordance with the Auditing Standards issued
by the Auditing Practices Board and will have regard to relevant Auditing
Guidelines. Further, more, it will be conducted in such manner as we consider
necessary to fulfill our responsibility and will include such tests of transactions
and of the existence, ownership and valuation of assets and liabilities as we
consider necessary.

1.4 We shall obtain an understanding of the accounting system in order to assess its
adequacy as a basis for the preparation of the financial statements and to
establish whether proper accounting records have been maintained. We shall
expect to obtain such relevant and reliable evidence, as we consider sufficient
to enable us to draw reasonable conclusion there from. The nature and extent
of our procedures will vary according to our assessment of the company’s
accounting system and, where we wish to place reliance on it, the system of
internal control and way cover any aspect of the business operations.

statement and the director’s report, which are due to be issued with the
financial statements.

1.7 It may be that, at the present time, or in the future, the size of your business renders
it uneconomic to create a system of internal control based on segregation of
duties for different functions within each area of the business. In the running
of your company, we acknowledge that the directors may be closely involved
with the control of the company’s transactions. In planning and performing our
audit words, we shall take account of this situation. Further, we may ask
additionally for confirmation in writing that all transactions undertaken by the
company have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting
records and our audit report on your company’s financial statements may
refer to the confirmation.

with low or regulations rests with you. However, we shall endeavor to plan our
audit so that we have a reasonable expectation of detecting material
misstatements in the financial statements of accounting records resulting from
fraud, error or non-compliance with law or regulations. But our examination
should not be relied upon to disclose frauds, errors or instances of non-
compliance, which may exist.

1.9 We shall not be treated as having notice for the purpose of our audit responsibilities,
of information provided to members of our firm other than those engaged on
the audit (e.g. information provided in connection with accounting, taxation
and other services).

statements with Registrar of Companies within the time limits laid down for
