6 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of theFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Standalone Ind AS financialstatements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue 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 inaccordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, weexercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. Wealso:
a Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the Standalone Ind ASfinancial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
b Obtain an understanding of internal financialcontrol relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of theAct, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system inplace and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
c Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by the management.
d Conclude on the appropriateness ofmanagement's use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures inthe Standalone Ind AS financial statements or,if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to ceaseto continue as a going concern.
e Evaluate the overall presentation, structureand content of the Standalone Ind AS financialstatements, including the disclosures, andwhether the Standalone Ind AS financialstatements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatementsin the Standalone Ind AS financial statementsthat, individually or in aggregate, makes itprobable that the economic decisions ofa reasonably knowledgeable user of theStandalone Ind AS financial statements maybe influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in theStandalone Ind AS financial statements.
We communicate with those charged withgovernance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal financialcontrol that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged withgovernance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other mattersthat may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with thosecharged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance inthe audit of the Standalone Ind AS financialstatements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor's report unlesslaw or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
