The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thepreparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the ManagementDiscussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexuresto Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, CorporateGovernance and Shareholder's Information, but does notinclude the standalone financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether such other information ismaterially inconsistent with the standalone financial statementsor our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on thework we have performed, we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information; we are required to reportthat fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these standalone financial statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, financial performance includingother comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equityof the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian AccountingStandards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act readwith the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions
of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgements and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and the design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentationof the standalone financial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, managementand Board of Directors are responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, orhas no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged withgovernance are also responsible for overseeing the Company'sfinancial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditingwill 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 part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing,we exercise professional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:-
Ý 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 ofnot detecting 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.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether
the Company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management and Board of Directors.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the standalone financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the financial statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effectof any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit 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 statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,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 matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
