We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing(SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further described in theAuditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Standalone the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company inaccordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India together with the ethical requirements that arerelevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions ofthe Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilledour other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirementsand the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we haveobtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment,were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements of the current period. These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole,and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separateopinion on these matters.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation ofthe other information. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the board's report including Annexure to Board's Report butdoes not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover theother information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion 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 theStandalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the workwe have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this other information; we are required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters statedin section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect tothe preparation and presentation of these Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance, and cash flows of the Company in accordancewith the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theaccounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding ofthe assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Board ofDirectors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless theBoard of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board ofDirectors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether theStandalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism 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 financial control relevant to the auditin order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the companyhas adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and thereasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures madeby management.
• 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 suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of theStandalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone FinancialStatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that theeconomic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the StandaloneFinancial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, amongother matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significantaudit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit. We also provide those charged withgovernance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear onour independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
