Auditors' Responsibilities for the audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is high level of assurance, but is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with theSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decision of users takenon the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the standalone financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlrelevant 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 theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures 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 continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thefinancial 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 auditors'report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that economic decision of a reasonably knowledgeuser of the standalone financial statement may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factorsin (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our works and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
