In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, theaforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner sorequired and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally acceptedin India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and loss, (changes in equity) and itscash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further describedin the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We areindependent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financialstatements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we havefulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, (changes inequity)1 and cash flows of the Company in accordance with1 the accounting principles generally acceptedin India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation ofthe financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directors are alsoresponsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit conducted 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 in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosuresin the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including theassessment of the risks of material misstatement of financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to theCompany's preparation of the financial statements, that give a true and fair view, in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriatenessof accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company'sDirectors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that theaudit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinionon financial Statements.
