We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion on thefinancial statements.
Key Audit Matters (‘KAM') 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 in the context of our audit of the financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.We have determined that there are no Key Audit Matters to be communicated in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the company's annual report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledgeobtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, weconclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013(“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance, and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includesmaintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assetsof the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that givea true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, 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 alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism 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 to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis 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 controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
> Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
> Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
> Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
