Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
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 guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered materialif, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basis of these Standalone 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. 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.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls systemin place and the operating effectiveness 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 of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue asa going concern.
• 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the StandaloneFinancial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it 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 a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to out weight the public interest benefitsof such communication.
