DIRECTORS REPORT

Outlook
According to Nasscom Strategic Review 2012, Global technology spend is expected to grow by
5% in 2012. Worldwide IT Services spending is expected to grow 4.3% in 2012 and 4.7% in

adoption of cloud, mobility, analytics and social media. India accounts for less than 5% of the
global technology spending and this provides a strong headroom for growth of the IT-BPO sector

AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Wipro
Limited and its Subsidiaries
We have audited the attached consolidated balance sheet of Wipro Limited (‘the Company’) and

statement of profit and loss and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended on that
date, annexed thereto. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated

Page 19
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those
Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s
management in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard 21, Consolidated
Financial Statements and Accounting Standard 23, Accounting for Investments in Associates in

Measurements, followed by the Company, which has not currently been notified by the National
Advisory Council for Accounting Standards pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2006 as per Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956. Had the Company not followed
the principles of AS 30, the profit after taxation for the year ended March 31, 2012 would have
been lower by ` 1,633 million.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India:
a) In the case of the consolidated balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the Wipro Group as

CONSOLIDATED AUDITOR’S REPORT OF WIPRO LTD 2012 - 13
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Wipro Limited and
Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Wipro Limited ('the
Company') and subsidiaries (collectively called 'the Group'), which comprise the balance sheet as
at 31 March 2013, the consolidated statement of profit and loss and the consolidated cash flow
statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and
consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the requirements of Accounting
Standard 21, Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting Standard 23, Accounting for
Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements, issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). This responsibility includes the design, implementation
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the
consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. Those standards 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.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
Page 29
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation
of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India:
a) In the case of the consolidated balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31
March 2013;
a) In the case of the consolidated statement of profit and loss, of the profit of the Group for
the year ended on that date; and
b) In the case of the cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the Group for the year ended
on that date.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 29 to the consolidated financial
statements that describes the principles of Accounting Standard (AS) 30, Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurements, followed by the Company, which has not currently been notified
by the National Advisory Council for Accounting Standards pursuant to the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as per Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956. Had the
Company not followed the principles of AS 30, the profit after taxation for the year ended 31
March 2013 would have been lower by 896 million.
