B. Internal control systems and their adequacy

We have implemented an internal control framework to ensure that all assets are safeguarded and protected against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and that transactions are authorised, recorded, and reported correctly. The framework includes Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting, which provides reasonable assurance over the integrity of financial statements of the company and reduces the possibility of frauds. Our Corporate Audit and Assurance department issues well-documented operating procedures and authorities with adequate built-in controls at the beginning of any activity and during the process to keep track of any major changes. As part of the audits, they also review the design of key processes from the point of view of adequacy of controls. Periodic reports — as part of continuous monitoring — are generated to identify exceptions through data analysis. The internal controls are tested for their design and operating effectiveness across all our locations and functions by the Corporate Audit team; control failures are reviewed by the management from time to time for corrective action. Controls with respect to authorisation in underlying IT systems are also reviewed periodically to ensure that users have access to only those transactions that their roles require. Our head office in Mumbai, offices across India, and all major factories follow an Information Security Management System and are ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified.
