The Annual report is expected to be madeavailable to us after the date of this report.
Our opinion on the Ind AS financial statements does notcover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, indoing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements orour knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appearsto be materially misstated.
When we read Annual Report, if we conclude that thereis a material misstatement therein, we are requiredto communicate the matter to those charges withgovernance and take necessary actions as applicableunder the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible forthe matters stated in section 134(5) of the CompaniesAct,2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation ofthese Ind AS financial statements that give a true andfair view of the financial position, financial performance,including other comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordancewith the Ind AS and other 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
for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate implementationand maintenance accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectivelyfor ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a trueand fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, managementis responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless the Managementeither intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is 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, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section
143(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. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor's reportto the related disclosures in the Ind AS financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the Ind AS financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thefinancial statements that, individually or in the aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materialityand qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of ouraudit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatementsin the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, 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 witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
