BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the
Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities
for the Audit of the standalone financial statements’
section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India ("ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the standalone
financial statements under the provisions of the
Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible
for the other information. The other information
comprises the Director’s report but does not
include the standalone 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF BOARD OF
DIRECTORS FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible
for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Act with respect to the preparation of these
standalone financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, changes in equity and cash flows of
the Company in accordance with the accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards 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; makingjudgments
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
standalone 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 statements,
the Management and Board of Directors is
responsible for assessing the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES 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 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 these standalone financial statements.
We give in “Annexure A” a detailed description of
Auditor’s responsibilities for Audit of the standalone
financial statements.
