Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statementsdoes not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether suchother information is materially inconsistent with thefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in theaudit or otherwise appears to 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 Act with respect tothe preparation of these Standalone Financial Statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance including other comprehensiveincome, cash flows and changes in equity of the Companyin accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Indian AccountingStandards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 ofthe Act read with the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and the design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevantto the preparation and presentation of the StandaloneFinancial Statements that give a true and fair view andare free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements,management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible foroverseeing the 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,and to issue an auditors' 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 misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud 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 relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls withreference to financial statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management'suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditors'report to the related disclosures in the financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditors' report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thefinancial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i)planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect ofany identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements of the current year and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditors' report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should notbe communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
