Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone Financial Statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financialcontrols relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.Under section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controlswith reference to Standalone Financial Statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the management.
• 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 or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue asa going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the Standalone Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whether the StandaloneFinancial Statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regardingthe Annual Standalone Financial Statements ofthe Company to express an opinion on the AnnualStandalone Financial Statements.
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 work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in the StandaloneFinancial 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 financial controlsthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
