Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theFinancial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethicsissued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with ethical requirements that are relevant to ouraudit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules there under, and we have fulfilled our ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidences wehave obtained are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of thestandalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinionon these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexure toBoard’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does notinclude the financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statement does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information;we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and the otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the 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 accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols, that are operating effectively for insuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain a reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue our report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is ahigh level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise due to fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
(i) 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 those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
(ii) Obtain an understanding of the internal controls relevant to the 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 internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
(iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
(iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
(v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify duringour audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonable be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relevant safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,or when in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
