RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSECHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013
("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these financial
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing 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 financial statements that give a true andfair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial 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 guaranteethat 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 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose 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,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves 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 identify
during 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 financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation 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 reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
