4. Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report thereon
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 auditors'' 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.
5. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statement
The Company''s Board of Director is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and
presentation of these Financial Statement that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, change in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding
of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate
accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statement, the Board of Directors of the company are responsible for assessing the ability of the
Company 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.
6. Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statement
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statement 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
is 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 this Financial Statement. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statement, 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 control 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 controls systems in place and the operating effectiveness of such control.
⢠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 Financial Statement 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 Financial Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial
Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable
that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone financial 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
evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
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 Statement 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.
