The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thepreparation of the other information.
The other information comprises the information included in theManagement Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report includingAnnexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report,Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does
not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements doesnot cover the other information and we do not express any formof assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financialstatements or our knowledge obtained during the course of ouraudit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. However, we have nothing to reportin this matter.
The Company's Management is responsible for the matters statedin Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") withrespect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance including comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed underSection 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standaloneInd AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone Ind AS financial statements,management is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative butto do so. Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeingthe Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from an error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue asa going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe standalone Ind AS financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone Ind AS financialstatements of the current period and are therefore reported askey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefitsof such communication.
