In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information identifiedabove when it becomes available and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtained in theaudit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If based on the work we have performed, we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that fact. We have nothing toreport in this regard.
Responsibility of Management for the StandaloneFinancial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible forthe matters stated in section 134(5) of the CompaniesAct, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation ofthese standalone financial statements that give a true andfair view of the financial position, financial performance,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the accounting Standardsspecified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.
In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intendsto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeingthe company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, butis not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higherthan for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management'suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
We have communicated with those charged withgovernance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence and communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
