We conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial Statements in accordancewith the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the CompaniesAct, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in theAuditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statementssection of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Codeof Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with theethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under theprovisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilledour other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code ofEthics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the currentperiod. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone IndAS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no keyaudit matters to be communicated in our report.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the otherinformation. The other information comprises the information included in the ManagementDiscussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report,Corporate Governance Report and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include thestandalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements does not cover the otherinformation and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, our responsibilityis to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financial statements or our knowledgeobtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of thesestandalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified under section 133of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting recordsin accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Companyand for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and applicationof appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonableand prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financialstatement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these standalone Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
d) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concernbasis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a mannerthat achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate withthem all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata 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.
