Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance inour audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the contextof our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit mattersto communicate in our report.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financialstatements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance and 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 inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother 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 theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specifiedunder Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless Management either Intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reportingprocess.
Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
? Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for explaining our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
? Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates 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 material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto 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 onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
? Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents 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 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 standalonefinancial statements.
? 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 complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,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 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
