The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the CompaniesAct, 2013 ("The Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give atrue and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, (including Other Comprehensive Income),changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India,
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 detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance ofaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the Ind AS financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, management are responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, 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 financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
(i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
(ii) Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
(iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures in the standalone financial statements made by the Management.
(iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
(v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,including 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 inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thestandalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrol that we identify during our audit.
