We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statementsin accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA”s) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities underthose Standards are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by theInstitute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI”) togetherwith the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit ofthe standalone financial statements under the provisions ofthe Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilledour other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe thatthe audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalonefinancial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements of the current period. Thesematters were addressed in the context of our audit of thestandalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming ouropinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion onthese matters. We have determined that there are no key auditmatters to communicate in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis,Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report,Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance andShareholder's Information, but does not include the standalonefinancial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other informationis materially inconsistent with the standalone financialstatements or our knowledge obtained during the course ofour audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement of this other information, weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these standalone financial statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, including other comprehensive income, changesin equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe Ind AS and other accounting principles generally acceptedin India. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding 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 reasonableand prudent; and design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the standalone financial statements that givea true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, managementis responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless management either intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to doso.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional Skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
0 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the standalone financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
0 Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Undersection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
0 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by the management.
0 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 agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport 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 causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
0 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere 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
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matteror when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
