Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true andfair view of the financial position, financial performance including Other Comprehensive Income,cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified underSection 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing anddetecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and designing,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing thecompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternatives but to doso.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reportingprocess
Auditors' Responsibility for the Audit of Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone FinancialStatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone FinancialStatements.
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 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 a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• 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 theAct, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• 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 auditors' report to the related disclosures in the StandaloneFinancial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are 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 agoing concern.
• 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable userof the Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider qualitative materiality and qualitative
factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Financial Statements.
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.
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,and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors'report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matters, or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so, would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
