Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurances a high level of assurance, but are not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit inaccordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone annual financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that insufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. 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 Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion through a separate report on the complete set of financial statements on whether the companyhas adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures in the standalone financial statements made by the Management and Board ofDirectors.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the standalone annual financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone annual financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone annual financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the standalone financial statements that individually or inaggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalonefinancial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the statements of our work and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the standalone financial statements
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay 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 matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
