Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance withthe Standards on Auditing (SAs) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Companies Act,2013. Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in theAuditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements section ofour report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code ofEthics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India together with theethical requirements that are relevant to ouraudit of the financial statements under theprovisions of the Companies Act, 2013 andthe Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilledour other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with these requirements andthe Code of Ethics. We believe that the auditevidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion on the standalone financialstatement.
Key audit matters are those matters that, inour professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period.These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the standalonefinancial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on thesematters. We have determined there are noany key audit matters to be communicatedin our report.
The Company’s board of directors isresponsible for the preparation of the otherinformation. The other informationcomprises the information included in theBoard’s Report including Annexures toBoard’s Report but does not include thefinancial statements and our auditor’sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statementsdoes not cover the other information and wedo not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financialstatements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the financial statements orour knowledge obtained during the course ofour audit or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, weconclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information, weare required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and ThoseCharged with Governance for theStandalone Financial StatementsThe Company’s Board of Directors isresponsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“theAct”) with respect to the preparation ofthese financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position,financial performance and cash flows of theCompany in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted inIndia, including the accounting Standardsspecified under section 133 of the Act. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding of the assets of the Companyand for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of thefinancial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone financialstatements, management is responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are alsoresponsible for overseeing the Company’sfinancial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor’s report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance withSAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis ofthese Standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs,we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks,and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internalcontrol relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances.Under section 143(3)(i) of theCompanies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinionon whether the company has adequateinternal financial controls system in
place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness ofaccounting policies used and thereasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness ofmanagement’s use of the going concernbasis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company’sability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation,structure and content of the financialstatements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude ofmisstatements in the standalone financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the standalone financial statementsmay be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our auditwork and in evaluating the results of ourwork; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged withgovernance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged withgovernance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationshipsand other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with thosecharged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significancein the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters inour auditor’s report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
We are independent of the Group inaccordance with the ethical requirementsthat are relevant to our audit of the financialstatements and we have fulfilled our otherethical responsibilities in accordance withthese requirements.
