Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors' 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 financial statements does not couer 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 identified aboue when it made auailable and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with gouernance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the releuant laws and regulations.
Management's and Board of Directors Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's Management and 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 financial statements that giue a true and fair uiew of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensiue income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 prouisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preuenting 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 effectiuely for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, releuant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that giue a true and fair uiew and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are 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 alternatiue but to do so. The Board of Directors are also responsible for ouerseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectiues 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 leuel 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, indiuidually 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:
Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsiue to those risks, and obtain audit euidence that is sufficient and appropriate to prouide 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 inuolue collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the ouerride of internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal financial control releuant 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 with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiueness of such controls.
Ý Eualuate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management and Board of Director.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of financial statement and, based on the audit euidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to euents 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 euidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. Howeuer, future euents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Eualuate the ouerall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and euents in a manner that achieues fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with gouernance 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 prouide those charged with gouernance with a statement that we haue complied with releuant 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 gouernance, 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 auditors' 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 aduerse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
