The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for thepreparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the ManagementDiscussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures toBoard's Report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report(part of Annual Report) but does not include the StandaloneFinancial Statements and our auditors' report thereon. Theabove referred information is expected to be made available tous after the date of this audit report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other informationis materially inconsistent with the Standalone FinancialStatements, or our knowledge obtained during the auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated. The otherinformation is not made available to us at the date of thisauditor's report.
When we read the other information, if we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governanceand take appropriate actions necessitated by the circumstancesand the applicable laws and regulations.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these Standalone Financial Statements thatgive a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit and othercomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows ofthe Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian AccountingStandards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act readwith the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor 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 ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that givea true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, themanagement is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless the management either intendsto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basisof these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to the StandaloneFinancial Statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the Management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management 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 continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditors' report to the related disclosures in theStandalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditors' report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern; and
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere 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 Financial Statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
