The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible forthe preparation of the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included inthe Annual Report (including the Director’s Report,Management Discussion and Analysis, CorporateGovernance Report), but does not include theStandalone Financial Statements and our auditor’sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statementsdoes not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whetherthe other information is materially inconsistent with theStandalone Financial Statements, or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Chargedwith Governance for the Standalone FinancialStatements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation of these Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance, changes in equity andcash flows of the Company in accordance with the IndAS and other accounting principles generally acceptedin India. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance withthe provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectivelyfor ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the Standalone Financial Statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements,management is responsible for assessing the Company’sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Standalone Financial Statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurance but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs willalways detect a material 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 to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken based on theseStandalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financialcontrols relevant to the audit to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to StandaloneFinancial Statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by themanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the StandaloneFinancial Statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the Standalone Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whether theStandalone Financial Statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a mannerthat achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions 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 workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements inthe Standalone Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal financialcontrols that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear onour independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
