We conducted our audit of standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified undersection 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Auditof the Standalone financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Codeof Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevantto our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we havefulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics issued by ICAI. We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalonefinancial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the informationincluded in Annual report but does not include the consolidated financial statements, standalone financial statements and ourauditor's report thereon.Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone 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 arerequired 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 the preparation ofthese standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including othercomprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for 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 of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basisof accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
• 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, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for oneresulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls systems in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. 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 such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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 be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significancein the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe thesematters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
