Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the standalone financial statements 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 opinionthereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the financialstatements and auditor’s reports thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us afterthe date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the standalonefinancial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomesavailable and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with thestandalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we arerequired to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions, asapplicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity andcash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively.
For ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsiblefor assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directorseither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor’sReport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these standalone financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Ý 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 to provide 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 internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal 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 arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the goingconcern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on theaudit 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
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Companyto cease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrol that we identify during our audit.
