Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified undersub-section 10 of Section 143 of the Act will always detect a material misstatement when ijjexists.
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 onthe basis of these standalone financial statements.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
