Report on the audit of the Standalone Annual Financial Results
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying Standalone annual financial results of Ganges Securities Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Company') for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2024 (the "Statement"), and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Cash Flows as at and for the year ended on that date, attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ('Listing Regulations').
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone annual financial results:
- a) are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
- b) give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable Indian Accounting Standards (Ind As), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information for the year ended March 31, 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the 'Act') and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone annual financial results 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 (the '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 there under, 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 audited Standalone annual financial results.
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Standalone annual financial results
These Standalone annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of the annual financial statements.
The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Standalone annual financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company and the standalone statement of assets and liabilities and the standalone statement of cash flows in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (Ind As) prescribed under Section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

The Board of Directors are responsible for 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 annual financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Standalone annual financial results by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Standalone annual financial results, the Management and the 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 responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone annual financial results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone annual financial results 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 annual financial results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone annual financial results, 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.
- b) 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 through a separate report on the complete set of financial statements on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
- c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the Standalone annual financial results made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- d) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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 appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a matcrial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Standalone annual financial results 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. P Y

- e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone annual financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone annual financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- f) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Standalone annual financial results of the Company to express an opinion on the Standalone annual financial results.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone annual financial results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone annual financial results may be influenced. We consider qualitative 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 annual financial results.
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.
Other Matters
The Standalone annual financial results include the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the corresponding quarter ended in the previous year as reported in the Statement, being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current and previous financial year respectively. Also, the figures up to the end of the end of the third quarter had only been reviewed by us, as required under the Listing regulations and not subjected to audit.
The Standalone annual financial results dealt with by this report have been prepared for the express purpose of filing with stock exchanges. These results are based on the audited standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024 on which we issued an unmodified opinion vide our report dated May 15,2024.

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.
- e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated annual financial resuits, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated annual financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- f) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Consolidated annual financial results of the Company to express an opinion on the Consolidated annual financial results. We are responsible of the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Consolidated annual financial results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated annual financial results, which have been audited by other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We solely responsible for our audit opinion.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated annual financial results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated annual financial results may be influenced. We consider qualitative 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 Consolidated annual financial results.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company of which we are independent auditor, 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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 dated March 2019 issued by the SEBI under regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.
