• The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for theother information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Board report and ManagementDiscussion and Analysis including its annexures but doesnot include the financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
• Our opinion on the financial statements does not coverthe other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
• In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements orour knowledge obtained during the course of our auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
• If, based on the work we have performed, we concludethat there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows andchanges in equity of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including IndAS specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguardingthe assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and applicationof appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Boardof Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intendto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the 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 toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these financial statements.
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 misstatement ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the resultsof our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
