Revenue Recognition (as described in Note 2b(i), Note 2c(f) and Note 20 of the standalone financial statements)
|
|
The Company's revenue is derived primarily
from sale of goods. The Company manufactures
specialized forged and machined products as per
specifications provided by its customers. Revenue
from sale of goods is recognized at a point in time
when control of the asset is transferred to the
customer, generally on delivery of goods.
The timing of revenue recognition is relevant to the
reported performance of the Company. Revenue
recognition has been identified as a key audit matter
as there could be incentives or external pressures
to meet expectations resulting in revenue being
overstated or recognized before the control has
been transferred.
|
Our procedures included the following:
- We assessed the appropriateness of the Company's accounting
policies for revenue recognition by comparing with applicable
accounting standards.
- We evaluated the design, implementation and operating effectiveness
of key internal controls over recognition of revenue.
- We tested on a sample basis, key customer contracts to identify terms
and conditions relating to transfer of control.
- On a sample basis, we tested the revenue transactions recorded during
the year by verifying the underlying documents to assess whether
revenue is recognized appropriately when control is transferred.
- We tested, on a sample basis specific revenue transaction recorded
closer to the year end and after the financial year-end date to assess
whether revenue is recognized in the correct period.

We have audited the standalone financial statements of
Happy Forgings 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, the Cash Flow Statement and the
Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended,
and notes to the Standalone financial statements, including
a summary of material accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
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 FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements 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 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 audit
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 for the financial year ended
March 31, 2025. 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. For each
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed
the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We
have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial
statements section of our report, including in relation to these
matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements. The results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures performed to address the matters below,
provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
standalone financial statements.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Director's report, 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 do 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
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is
materially inconsistent with the 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 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 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 Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.
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 the 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 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.
Those 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 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 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.
i. The Company has disclosed the impact of
pending litigations on its financial position
in its standalone financial statements -
Refer Note 29 to the standalone financial
statements;
ii. The Company has made provision, as required
under the applicable law or accounting
standards, for material foreseeable losses,
if any, on long-term contracts including
derivative contracts - Refer Note 18 to the
standalone financial statements;
iii. There were no amounts which were required
to be transferred to the Investor Education
and Protection Fund by the Company;
iv. a) The management has represented
that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, no funds have been advanced
or loaned or invested (either from
borrowed funds or share premium or
any other sources or kind of funds)
by the Company to or in any other
person(s) or entity(ies), including
foreign entities ("Intermediaries"), with
the understanding, whether recorded
in writing or otherwise, that the
Intermediary shall, whether, directly
or indirectly lend or invest in other
persons or entities identified in any
manner whatsoever by or on behalf of
the Company ("Ultimate Beneficiaries")
or provide any guarantee, security
or the like on behalf of the Ultimate
Beneficiaries;
b) The management has represented
that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, no funds have been received
by the Company from any person(s)
or entity(ies), including foreign
entities ("Funding Parties"), with the
understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Company
shall, whether, directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Funding Party
("Ultimate Beneficiaries") or provide any
guarantee, security or the like on behalf
of the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and
c) Based on such audit procedures
performed that have been considered
reasonable and appropriate in the
circumstances, nothing has come to
• 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 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.
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 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.
