BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the standards on auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act,
2013. 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions
of the Act and the rules there under, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the code of ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
on the standalone financial statements.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS:
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon.
And we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND AUDITORS' REPORT THEREON
The Company’s board of directors are responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Board’s
Report including Annexures to Board’s Report Corporate
Governance and share holder information, 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 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 during the course of our 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 RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the
matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013
("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these Standalone
Ind. AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of
the financial position, financial performance in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards Ind. AS specified under
Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Indian accounting standard) Rules, 2015 as amended.
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 Ind. As 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 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 are also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the 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 financial
statements.
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 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 control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the company
has adequate internal financial controls system 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 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, including the
disclosures, and whether the 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 safeguard. From the matters
communicated with those charged with governance, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the 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.
