Other Information
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company's Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these
standalone financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "the
Act") that give a true and fair view of the standalone financial position, standalone financial performance, standalone
cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
India including the Indian Accounting Standards specified in the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 (as amended) under Section 133 of the Act. The Company's Board of Directors are also responsible for ensuring
accuracy of records including financial information considered necessary for the preparation of the standalone financial
statements. The Board of Directors of the company are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting
frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgements
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the management and Board of Directors of the Company are
responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company
or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors of the Company is also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the company.
Auditors' Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial control systems in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions 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 going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, inducing the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 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 matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
