Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code ofEthics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(" ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevantto our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder,and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. Webelieve that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the StandaloneFinancial Statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financialstatements of the current period.
We have not determined any matters to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report,Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the StandaloneFinancial Statements and our
auditor's report thereon which is expected to be made available to us after that date.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identifiedabove when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with theStandalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information and if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we will communicate thematter to those charged with governance and take necessary action as per applicable laws and regulations.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the IND AS and other accounting principles generally accepted inIndia.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless management either intends to liquidate the Company or 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.
(a) Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
(b) As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
• and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detectinga 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3Xi) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the Company has adequate financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue 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 Standalone Financial Statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures,and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
(c) Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonable knowledgeable users of the Standalone Financial Statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and
in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone FinancialStatements.
(d) We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
(e) We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
(f) From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would be reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
