The other informationcomprises the information included in the Director'sreport, but does not include the consolidatedfinancial statements, standalone financialstatements and our auditor's report thereon. TheDirector's report is expected to be made availableto us after the date of this auditor's report.
• Our opinion on the standalone financial statementsdoes not cover the other information and will notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
• In connection with our audit of the standalonefinancial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information identified above when it becomesavailable and, in doing so, consider whether theother information is materially inconsistent with thestandalone financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
• When we read the Director's report, if we concludethat there is a material misstatement therein, weare required to communicate the matter to thosecharged with governance as required under SA720 ‘The Auditor's responsibilities Relating to OtherInformation'
The Company's Board of Directors is responsiblefor the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance includingother comprehensive income, cash flows and changesin equity of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India,including Ind AS specified under section 133 of theAct. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectivelyfor ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a trueand fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements,management and Board of Directors are responsiblefor assessing the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless the Board of Directors either intendto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the standalone financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism 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 financialcontrols relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to standalonefinancial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by themanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management'suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the standalonefinancial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor's report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thestandalone financial statements that, individually orin aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thestandalone financial statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors (i) in planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements.
