We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing specified under section 143 (10) ofthe Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the auditor'sresponsibilities 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 Indiatogether with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements underthe provisions of the Act and the rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilitiesin accordance with these requirements and the code of ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on these matters.
There are no Key Audit Matters Reportable as per SA 701 issued by ICAI.
The Company's board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. Theother
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder'sInformation, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
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 the other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated. Based on work we performed, we conclude that there is no materialmisstatement of this other information. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's board of directors are 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 view ofthe financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards specifiedunder section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance withthe provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing anddetecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are freefrom material 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 going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
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 an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial 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 maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrideof internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the CompaniesAct, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Companyto cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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, andwhere applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure 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
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
