The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act,2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of thesefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position and financial performance of the Companyin accordance with the Accounting Principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Accounting Standardsspecified under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule7 ofCompanies( Accounts) Rules, 2014.
This responsibility 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 ofinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for
ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thefinancial statement that give a true and fair view and are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless management either intends to liquidate the Companyor to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay 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. Undersection 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosuresin the financial 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 events orconditions may cause the company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
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.
