Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of thestandalone financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As a part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe standalone financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) ofthe Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thestandalone financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions ofa reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financialstatements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope ofour audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in thestandalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and whereapplicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
