The other informationcomprises the information included in the annual report, butdoes not include the financial statements and auditor's report(s)thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available tous after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does notcover the other information and we will not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the standalone financial statements or ourknowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement therein, we are required to communicatethe matter to those charged with governance and take necessaryactions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs,profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity andcash flows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, theManagement and Board of Directors are responsible forassessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unless the Boardof Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial 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 SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout 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 responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Ý 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) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the Management and Boardof Directors.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managementand Board of Directors use of the going concern basis ofaccounting in preparation of standalone financial statementsand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalonefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of thestandalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
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 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.
