The Other information is expected to be madeavailable to us after the date of this Auditor’s Report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we donot express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read theother information identified above when it becomes available and in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements or our knowledgeobtained in the course of 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 otherinformation; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
When we read the remaining other information, which we will obtain after the date of auditor’s report and ifwe conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to thosecharged with governance.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the CompaniesAct, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation of these Standalone Ind AS FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding
of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the 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.
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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statementsas a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect 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 taken on the basis of theseStandalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements,whether due to 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 of not detect¬ing a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve 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 audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or con¬ditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements represent the under¬lying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statementsthat, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements inthe Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships andother 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 those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of thecurrent period 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, in extremelyrare 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 interestbenefits of such communication.
