We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards onAuditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance withthe Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) togetherwith the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statementsunder the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled ourethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to providea basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information.The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussionand Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report and Shareholder’sInformation, 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 will notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements or 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 is a material misstatementof this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) ofthe Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theaccounting standards(AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view andare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and the Board of directors areresponsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company’sfinancial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statementsas a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issuean auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify 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 provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit 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 statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the currentperiod. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
