The Annual Report is expected to be made available tous after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does notcover the other information and we will not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or ourknowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that thereis a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governance andtake appropriate action as applicable under the relevant lawsand regulations.
6. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these Standalone Financial Statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with the accounting principles generally acceptedin India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specifiedunder Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets
of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
7. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Board ofDirectors is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intendsto liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directorsare also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
8. 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 assurancebut 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.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement and maintain professional scepticismthroughout 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 tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• 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.
• 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.
10. 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.
11. 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, and whereapplicable, related safeguards.
12. 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 lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
