Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of theAct for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completenessof the accounting records, relevant to the preparationand presentation of the Standalone Financial Statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements,management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless managementeither intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeingthe Company's financial reporting process.
1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the Standalone Financial Statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with Standards on Auditingspecified under sub-section 10 of Section 143 of the Actwill always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of theseStandalone Financial Statements.
2. 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 control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls with reference toStandalone Financial Statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• 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's
report 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 manner thatachieves fair presentation.
3. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisionsof a reasonably knowledgeable user of the StandaloneFinancial Statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors (i) in planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.
4. 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 weidentify during our audit.
5. We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
