The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Report of the Board of Directorsincluding Annexures thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis Report and BusinessResponsibility Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s reportthereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these Financial Statements that give a true and fair viewof the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparationand presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors of the Company is also responsible for overseeing the Company’sfinancial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurancebut is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic 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 maintainprofessional skepticism throughout 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 thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial control with reference to financial statementsin place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty 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. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable userof the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of ourwork; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that 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 thosematters that were of most significant in the audit of the financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
