We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion.
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the Jotherinformation. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’sannual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.The Company’s annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of thisauditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information andwe will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is toread the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financialstatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the dateof this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) ofthe Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement j
that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.
In preparing the financial statements, Board of Directors is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless managementeither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company’s financialreporting process. Audit trail compliance is also primarily the responsibility of theManagement.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud 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 designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
