Auditor's Report (Wipro) Year End : Mar '11
We have audited the attached balance sheet of Wipro Limited (the
 Company) as at March 31, 2011, the Profit and loss account and the cash
 flow statement for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto. These
 fnancial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fnancial
 statements based on our audit.
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
 generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and
 perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
 fnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
 and disclosures in the fnancial statements. An audit also includes
 assessing the accounting principles used and signifcant estimates made
 by management, as well as evaluating the overall fnancial statement
 presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
 our opinion.
 
 1.  As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003, as
 amended (“the Order”), issued by the Central Government of India in
 terms of Section 227(4A) of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”), we
 enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specifed in
 paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said Order.
 
 2.  Further to our comments in paragraph 1 above, we report that:
 
 a) we have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
 best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our
 audit;
 
 b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been
 kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those
 books;
 
 c) the balance sheet, Profit and loss account and cash flow statement
 dealt with by this report are in agreement with the books of account;
 
 d) in our opinion, the balance sheet, Profit and loss account and cash
 flow statement dealt with by this report comply with the accounting
 standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Act ;
 
 e) on the basis of written representations received from the directors
 as on March 31, 2011 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
 report that none of the directors is disqualifed as at March 31, 2011
 from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of
 sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Act; and
 
 f) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
 the explanations given to us, the said accounts 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:
 
 1) in the case of the balance sheet, of the state of afairs of the
 Company as at March 31, 2011;
 
 2) in the case of the Profit and loss account, of the Profit of the
 Company for the year ended on that date; and
 
 3) in the case of the cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the
 Company for the year ended on that date.
 
 Annexure to the Auditors Report Annexure referred to in paragraph 1 of
 our report to the members of Wipro Limited (“the Company”) for the year
 ended March 31, 2011
 
 (i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
 particulars including quantitative details and situation of fixed
 assets.
 
 (b) The Company has a regular programme of physical verifcation of its
 fixed assets by which all fixed assets are verifed in a phased manner
 over a period of three years. In our opinion, this periodicity of
 physical verifcation is reasonable having regard to the size of the
 Company and the nature of its assets. As informed to us, no material
 discrepancies were noticed on such verifcation.
 
 (c) Fixed assets disposed of during the year were not substantial, and
 therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.
 
 (ii) (a) The inventory (including stocks lying with third parties),
 except goods-in-transit, has been physically verifed by the management
 during the year. In our opinion, the frequency of such verifcation is
 reasonable.
 
 (b) The procedures for the physical verifcation of inventories followed
 by the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size
 of the Company and the nature of its business.
 
 (c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory. As informed
 to us, the discrepancies noticed on verifcation between the physical
 stocks and the book records were not material.

 Act, 1956 (“Act”). The maximum amount outstanding during the year and

 (b) In our opinion, the rate of interest, where applicable and other
