We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are furtherdescribed in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of Standalone Financial Statements section ofour report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by theInstitute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant toour audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance withthese requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Director’s Report including annexures to Director’s Reportbut does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we donot express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the separate standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of ouraudit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother information, we are required to report that fact. Based on the records, information andexplanation provided, we have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section of 134(5) of theCompanies Act’ 2013 with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theStandalone financial statement 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 for assessing thecompany’s ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reportingprocess.
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 anauditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or 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 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 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the companies Act, 2013, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financialcontrols 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 events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease 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 the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 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 current periodand are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
