6. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
A. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue 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 always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these StandaloneFinancial Statements.
B. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
ii) Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Companyhas adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the go>ing concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s abilityto continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern
v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
C. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually Orin aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of ourwork; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatement in the Standalone Financial Statements.
D. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

F. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in theaudit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters inour auditor5 s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
