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 js 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. ; ^ : ^ V \
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We have also: V
• 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. v :Ý : "
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial 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 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 the 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 including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves faro presentation. , [Ls,
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.
