Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statementsin accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilitiesfor the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements sectionof our report. We are independent of the Company inaccordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute ofChartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethicalrequirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalonefinancial statements under the provisions of the Act and theRules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements andthe ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidenceobtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
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 inthe context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as awhole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters. We have determined that thereare no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’sReport including Annexures to Board’s Report, BusinessResponsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’sInformation, but does not include the standalone financialstatements and our auditor’s report thereon
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 information ismaterially inconsistent with the standalone financial statementsor our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there isa material misstatement of this other information, we are requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these standalone financial statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, financial performance, including othercomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of theCompany in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance withthe provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Companyand for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevantto the 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, managementis responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless management either intends to liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing theCompany’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s 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 detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone 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. 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 controlrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system 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’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 standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements maybe influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe 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,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 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 financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
