The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information.The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion andAnalysis Report, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, and Shareholder’sInformation, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Theabove-mentioned reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’sreport.
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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether theother information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledgeobtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If based on work we haveperformed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation and presentation of thesefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other Comprehensive Income, cash flows and Changes in Equity of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Companies(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance withthe provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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; 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 statements 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 liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial 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 assurance, butis not a guarantee 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 dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in 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 uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in 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 with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of thecurrent year 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 to outweighthe public interest benefits of such communication.
