Key Audit Matters
4) Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the Financial Statements of the current period. We havedetermined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
5) The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include theFinancial Statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to bemade available to us after the date of this Auditors' Report.
6) Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
7) In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether theother information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
8) When we read the Company's Annual report, if we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement therein, we are required to report that fact to those charged with governance andtake necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of Directors for the Financial Statements.
9) 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 Financial Statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position, the financial performance, totalcomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian AccountingStandards ("Ind AS") specified under section 133 of the Act.
10) This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controlsthat were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements that give atrue and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
11) In preparing the Financial Statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsiblefor assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
12) Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor'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 amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
13) 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, whether dueto 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, misrepresentationsor the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system with reference to financial statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of 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 Financial Statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable userof the Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors (i) in planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the FinancialStatements.
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 financial controls 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 independenceand 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 Financial Statements of the currentyear and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh thepublic interest benefits of such communication. We conclude that there are no key auditmatters that needs to be communicated.
