Management Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of theCompany in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generallyaccepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding theassets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, 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 to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalonefinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in orderto design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained 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 financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statementsthat, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in
(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of ourwork; and
(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
