The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to the Board's Report, and BusinessResponsibility Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or ourknowledge obtained during our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("theAct”) concerning the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance, (changes in equity) and cash flows of the Company by the accounting principles generally acceptedin India, including the accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records by the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but does not guarantee that an audit conducted by SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenbased on these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraudis higher than for one resulting 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 to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances. Under Section I43(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has an adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
