6. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
A. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statementsas a whole 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, but isnot 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 Standalone Financial Statements.
B. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
ii) 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.
iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
iv) 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 to
continue 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 Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone FinancialStatements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
C. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions 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 in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.
D. 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.
E. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
F. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period andare 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, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
