We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements inaccordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specifiedunder Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further describedin the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements Section of our report. We are independent ofthe Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issuedby the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India togetherwith the independence requirements that are relevant to ouraudit of the Financial Statements under the provisions of theCompanies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we havefulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance withthese requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that theaudit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion on the Financial Statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of theFinancial Statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the FinancialStatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters tocommunicate in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible forthe preparation of the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included inBoard's Report including Annexure to that Board's Report,Corporate Governance, and Shareholder's Information,but does not include the Financial Statements and ourauditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not coverthe other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appearsto be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing toreport in this regard.
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 theseFinancial Statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flowsof the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe accounting Standards specified under Section 133of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the Financial Statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
In preparing the Financial Statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so;
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeingthe 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, andto issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of theseFinancial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout 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 Companyhas adequate internal financial controls system in placeand the 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 conclude
that 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 ceaseto continue as a going concern;
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the Financial Statements, including the disclosures,and whether the Financial Statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation;
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materialityand qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our auditwork and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in thefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance ofthe Company of which we are the independent auditorsregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring 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 reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
