We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing(SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are furtherdescribed in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements" section ofour report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued by the Instituteof Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our auditof the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules there under, and wehave fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code ofEthics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Reportincluding Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder'sInformation, but 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 do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with theStandalone Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to reportin this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act withrespect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and
for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making estimates and judgments that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the StandaloneFinancial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as awhole are free 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 an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these StandaloneFinancial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detectinga material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controlObtain 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 Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with referenceto standalone financial system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand 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. 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, includingthe disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other mattersthat 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 and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
However, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
