Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
10. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the standalone financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance isa high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with Standards onAuditing will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these standalone financial statements.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standardson Auditing, specified under Section 143(10) of theAct we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the standalone financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control;
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances, underSection 143(3)(i) of the Act we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial controlswith reference to financial statements in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls;
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management;
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Board ofDirectors' use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude thata material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the standalone financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern; and
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether thestandalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a mannerthat achieves fair presentation.
12. We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
13. We also provide those charged with governancewith a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships andother matters that may reasonably be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
14. From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matter. We describe thesematters in our auditor's report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
