INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To
The Members,
The Kakinada Cooperative Town Bank Ltd., Kakinada.
We have audited the financial statements of THE KAKINADA COOPERATIVE TOWN BANK LTD., which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2022, the Profit and Loss Account and Statement of Cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The returns of 18 Branches at the Bank and H.O. are incorporated in these financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at 31st March 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the Accounting Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by ICAI. 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 entity in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by ICAI and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code of Ethics. We have considered the Independent Branch Audit Reports relating to 14 Branches and we have relied upon the findings if any made by the respective Branch Statutory Auditors. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, results of operations and cash flows of the entity in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’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 entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the entity’s financial reporting process.
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.
