The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thepreparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Annual Report,the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board'sReport including Annexures to Board's Report, CorporateGovernance, Business Responsibility and SustainabilityReport and Shareholder's Information, but does not includethe financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. TheAnnual Report is expected to be made available to us afterthe date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the financialstatements does not cover the other information and we donot express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information identified abovewhen it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whetherthe other information is materially inconsistent with thefinancial statements, or our knowledge obtained during ouraudit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of management and those charged withgovernance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors isresponsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act,with respect to the preparation of these financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with theIndian Accounting Standards and other accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the financial statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Managementand Board of Director are responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, orhas no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing theCompany'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 guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in 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 control relevant tothe 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 expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's andBoard of Director's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to ceaseto 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.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in the internal control that we identify^during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
