We have audited the standalone financial statements of
VENTURA GUARANTY LIMITED (the "Company"), which
comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2024, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes
in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then
ended, and notes to the Standalone financial statements,
including 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
standalone financial statements give the information required
by the Companies Act, 2013 (the "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, 2024 and its profit,
total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing ("SA"s) 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 standalone financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made 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 obtained by us is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Ind
AS Financial Statements of the current period. 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. We have determined no such key audit matters to be
communicated in our audit report.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in Board''s Report but does not include
the standalone Financial Statements and our auditor''s report
thereon. The Draft Director''s Report is made available to us as
on the date of this Auditor''s Report.
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 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.
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, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India, including the accounting standards specified under
section 133 of the Act. 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 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, the Board of
Directors 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 the Board of Directors 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.
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:
⢠I dentify 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 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 the 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 standalone 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
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.

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

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, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
