Responsibilities of Management andThose Charged with Governance for theStandalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors are 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 viewof the financial position, financial performance,including other comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordancewith the Ind AS and the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding the assets of the Companyand for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent;and design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the StandaloneFinancial Statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements,management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or hasno realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Standalone Financial Statementsas a whole, are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs 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 expectedto influence the economic decisions of users takenbased on these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Ý Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the Standalone FinancialStatements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraudis higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal financialcontrol relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of theAct, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of materialaccounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by the management.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness ofmanagement's use of the going concern basisof accounting 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 requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
Ý 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 in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements inthe Standalone Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged withgovernance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significantaudit findings, including any significant deficienciesin internal control that we identify during our audit.
