Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
12 Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statementsa whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and tc> issue anauditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high ieve! of assurancebut is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
13. As part of an audit in accordance with Standard on Auditing, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
b. Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of
such controls. . . „ .
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness oraccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
d Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis o' accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of theCompany to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the dat£_ofour auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause thecease to continue as a going concern.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of ouraudit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
14. 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.
15. 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,and where applicable, related safeguards.
16. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication
