Basis for Opinion
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 further described in theAuditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisionsof the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our auditof the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters. Based on our audit, there are no key audit matters to be discussed.
Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a trueand fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company'sfinancial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 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 is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errorand are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness 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 accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thestandalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
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 matters thatmay 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 that wereof most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
