In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, theManagement and Board of Directors are responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unless the Boardof Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement 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 financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to Standalone FinancialStatements in place and the operating effectivenessof 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 Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the StandaloneFinancial Statements that individually or in aggregate makesit 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 misstatement 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 financial control that weidentify during 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
all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
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 law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
