He expressed concerns over the drop in investments, while adding that this could further impact the performance of industry and business as well.

The major objections were on: Non Adherence to MYT Regulations, non adherence to NTP, imposition of ‘additional surcharge’ When seen from the perspective of eligible power purchase sources, the DISCOMs may not be having any stranded fixed cost obligation, errors in energy sales estimates, inconsistencies in the claims made by the DISCOMs about power purchase costs etc.. Apart from the above objections on ARR proposals, Smt Sujatha, Deputy Director requested the Hon’ble Commission to take notice of two issues affecting the MSME sector: 1. that the contracted load limit of 100 HP of LT III Industry Category is causing huge financial loss to the MSMEs, more so to micro and small units, because those who are with more than 100 HP are considered as HT I Industry category for billing purpose, making it mandatory for them to pay demand charges for minimum 80% of contracted load. Most of these units’ load factor will be 40 to 50% of their contracted load. Requested to revive the LT III B category or increase the limit up to 200 – 250HP for LT III Industry category. 2. to reduce the tariff rate difference between the 33 KV and 132 KV, as it is exorbitantly high at 43 paise where as the difference in the cost to supply is only 13 paise.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements and for Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting The Federation’s Managing Committee is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013(“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Federation in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules,2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Federation 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Federation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Federation 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. 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 Federation’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 Act. 3. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit and to express an opinion on the Federation’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting. Those Standards and the Guidance
71 The Federation of Telangana and AndhraPradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry
Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement and whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts, the disclosures in the financial statements and adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exits, and testing and evaluating the design and 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. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls relevant to the Federation’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Federation’s Members of Managing Committee, 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 on the Federation’s financial statements and on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting. 4. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting Federation’s internal financial controls 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. Federation’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 Federation; (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 Federation are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management of the Federation; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Federation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 5. Inherent Limitations 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. 6. Opinion In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Federation as at 31st March, 2018, and its excess of Income over Expenditure and its cash flows for the year ended on that date. 7.
