Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material 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 to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2024 andare therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh thepublic interest benefits of such communication.
