Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole.
1. Recognition and measurement of investments in shares and securities (Ind AS 109):

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance includingOther Comprehensive Income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records, safeguarding of assets, prevention and detection of frauds and other irregularities,selection and application of appropriate accounting policies, making reasonable and prudent judgmentsand estimates, and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls thatwere operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of accounting records and relevantdisclosures.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management and Board of Directors are responsiblefor assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directorseither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to doso. The Company’s Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that anaudit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users on the basis of StandaloneFinancials Statements.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statementsas a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism 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 risk ofnot detecting a 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 ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue asa going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individuallyor in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user ofthe Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative 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 Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal financial controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships andother matters that may 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 thatwere of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period andare therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
