The other information comprises the informationincluded in the annual report but does not include theStandalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor's reportthereon. Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS financialstatements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Inconnection with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or ourknowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed,we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind ASfinancial statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance, changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe accounting Standards specified under section 133 of theAct. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the Standalone Ind AS financial statement thatgive a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Ind AS financial statements,management is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directors arealso responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process..
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue 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 detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of theseStandalone Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also::
• 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.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report.However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation. .
