Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the StandaloneFinancial Statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisionsof users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Id entify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform Audit Procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to providea basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the company has adequate internal financial controls system withreference to the Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Ecvaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof. accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management’s use of the going concernbasis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the FinancialSt.atements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone FinancialStatements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone FinancialStatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Financial Statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in:
1. Planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work;and
2. To evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the StandaloneFinancial Statements.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
