I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Aurum Soft
Systems Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at
March 31, 2015, the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Management is responsible for the matters stated in
Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 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 these financial statements that give a true and fair
view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.
I 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.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that I 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 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 control relevant to the Company's preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion on the financial
statements.
