ANNEXURE - B TO THE AUDITORS' REPORT
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section143 of the Comp anies Act, 2013 ("the Act")
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of TRIO MERCANTILE

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established
by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). These responsibilities include the
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were
operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including
adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls
over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the
"Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be
prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable
to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial

plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy
of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating

obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing

operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limit ations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections
of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial
reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2016, based on the internal control
over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
