Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit ofthe financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed satisfactorily in the context of ouraudit of the financial statements in forming our opinion thereon.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters in section134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013('the Act') with respect to the preparation and presentation of the standalone Financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, financial performance, and cash flow of the Company in accordance withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified underSection133 of the Act, read with Rule7 of the Companies(Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility alsoincludes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting the frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonableand prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Company's ability to continue asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basisof accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013 we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements, or if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtimings of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationship and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to be bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequence of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
