We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standardson Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordancewith the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) togetherwith the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financialstatements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouraudit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significancein our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information.The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion andAnalysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business ResponsibilityReport, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include thestandalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and wedo not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to readthe other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the courseof our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true andfair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financialstatements 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 theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intendsto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor’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 auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 reasonablyknowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality 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 of any identified misstatements in thefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits ofsuch communication.
