In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
Information Other Than The Financial Statements And Auditors' Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the StandaloneFinancial Statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the Standalone FinancialStatements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained inthe audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we haveperformed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not 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 financial statements.
Paragraph 40(b) of this SA explains that the shaded material below can be located in an Appendixto the auditor's report. Paragraph 40(c) explains that when law, regulation or applicable auditingstandards expressly permit, reference can be made to a website of an appropriate authority thatcontains the description of the auditor's responsibilities, rather than including this material in theauditor's report, provided that the description on the website addresses, and is not inconsistentwith, the description of the auditor's responsibilities below.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for oneresulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of theCompanies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• 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 tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and aretherefore 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 matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
