We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standardson Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of theAct. Our responsibilities under those Standards are furtherdescribed in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance withthe Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethicalrequirements that are relevant to our audit of the FinancialStatements under the provisions of the Act and theRules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements andthe ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidencewe have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion on the Financial Statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of theFinancial Statements of the current year. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters tobe communicated in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for theOther Information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Company's Annual Reportbut does not include the Financial Statements and ourIndependent Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on theFinancial Statements does not cover the Other Information,and we do not and will not express any form of assurance orconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, ourresponsibility is to read the Other Information identified aboveand, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information ismaterially inconsistent with the Financial Statements, or ourknowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the otherinformation that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor'sreport, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this Other Information, we are required to report thatfact. The Other Information as aforesaid is expected to bemade available to us after the date of this Auditor's Report.When we read the other information, if we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with Governanceand take appropriate steps in accordance with the extantlaws.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these Financial Statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, financial performance(including other comprehensive income), changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe accounting Standards specified under Section 133 ofthe Act and the relevant provisions of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the Financial Statements that give a trueand fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Financial Statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisionsof users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the Financial Statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the Financial Statements, including the disclosures,and whether the Financial Statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the FinancialStatements that, individually or in aggregate, make it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the Financial Statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the Key Audit Matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
