The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for thepreparation of other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Director's Report but does not include thestandalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the otherinformation and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalonefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of our audit, orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. Wehave nothing to report in this regard on the even date.
Responsibility of Management and Board of Directors for the Standalonefinancial statements
The Company's management and Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation ofthese standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the IndAS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting recordsin accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thestandalone 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, management is responsiblefor assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company'sstandalone financial statements process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone financialstatements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalonefinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinionreasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgmentand maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalonefinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in orderto design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system, in relation to the standalonefinancial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and thereasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the goingconcern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the standalone financial statements or, 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 or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thestandalone financial statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Management, among other matters, the plannedscope 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 havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonablybe thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, wedetermine those matters that are of most significance in the audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
