We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Gokul Refoils & Solvent Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance sheet as at March 31,2025, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of changes in equity,
the Cashflow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of Significant Accounting policies
and other explanatory information^ (hereinafter referred to as the standalone financial statements).
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 Companies Act 2013 ("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 31,2025, and its profit,
total comprehensive income, the changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities 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
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 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit
matters to be communticated in our report.
The Key Audit Matter :
Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
While the Company has limited turnover at the standalone level, it forms part of a group with substantial operations managed through its wholly
owned subsidiary. As a result, internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) at the Company level must be appropriately tailored to reflect its role
in the consolidated structure while maintaining integrity and compliance at the standalone level.
We considered this a key audit matter due to the risk that, despite a strong group-wide control environment, key standalone control activities—
especially those embedded in financial close processes and related party transactions—could be deprioritized, increasing the risk of undetected
misstatements."
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our audit procedures included, among others:
• Assessing the design and implementation of key ICFR controls configured within the Company's SAP system.
• Reviewing system-generated reports, workflows, and access controls to verify segregation of duties and proper authorization protocols.
• Evaluating automated controls within SAP relevant to revenue recognition, expense accounting, and intercompany transactions.
• Testing the integrity of system logic and configurations impacting financial reporting.
Based on our audit procedures, no material weaknesses in the design or operating effectiveness of key system-based controls were identified.
Information other than the Standalone financial statements and auditors' report thereon
The Company's board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governace report and
shareholder's information but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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.
Responsibilities of 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, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended from time to time, and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 statement 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.
The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
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.
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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by
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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 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.
