The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report andBusiness Responsibility Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a true 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 IndAS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 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 ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto 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 professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
♦ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraudor 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 materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
♦ Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating 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 of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability 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 such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
♦ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes itprobable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.We consider 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 any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timingof the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
