We conducted our audit of financial statement in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code ofEthics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirementsthat are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act,2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordancewith these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtainedis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statement.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance inour audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, andwe do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our opinion, there are no reportable KeyAudit Matters for the standalone financial statements of the Company.
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report,Business Responsibility 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 notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated insection 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance includingother comprehensive income ,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standardsspecified under section 133 of the Act read with relevant Rules issued thereunder.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance 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 statements that give a 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 abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone IND-AS Financial Statements
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 reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with SAs, will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. 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 of users takenon the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism 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, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system with reference to the financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management and the Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's and Board of Directors' use of the goingconcern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany'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 thefinancial 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 goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thefinancial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships andother matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation 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 adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
