Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone Ind AS financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these standalone Ind AS financialstatements.
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 materialmisstatement of the standalone Ind AS financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, 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.
