Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of ourreport. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethicsissued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with theethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statementsunder the provisions of the Act, and the Rules there under, and we have fulfilled ourother ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Codeof Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period.These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the annual report, for example,Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board'sReport, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’sInformation, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon. The other information as stated above is expected to be made availableto us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other informationand we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility isto read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalonefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
When we read the other information as stated above, if we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to thosecharged with Governance.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of theCompany in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation ofthe standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the management is responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process. •
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalonefinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• 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 andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud 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 designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe 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 goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a maimer 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 beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate withthem all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
