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 conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when 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 economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risk 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.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exits 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.
