We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards onAuditing (SA’s) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities underthose Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Codeof Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethicalrequirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under theprovisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules defined thereunder, and we have fulfilled ourother ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. Webelieve that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion.
Key Audit Matters are those matter that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance inour audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. During theyear under consideration, we have no Key Audit Matters to report.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position ,State of affairs, Profit/loss(including other comprehensive income) Change in Equity and Cash Flow of the company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Rules defined there under.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentationof the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intendsto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone FinancialStatements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform Audit Procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the CompaniesAct, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company hasadequate internal financial controls system with reference to the Standalone FinancialStatements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingesti mates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the Financial Statements,inciuding the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in:
1) Planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and
2) To evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone FinancialStatements.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit 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 statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
