Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneInd AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Ind AS financial statements are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issuean auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guaranteedthat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those 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, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue asa going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the Ind AS financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the StandaloneInd AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the financial statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effectof any identified 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, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify duringour audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefitsof such communication.
