Basis for Opinion
We have conducted our audit of the Standalone Ind AS
financial statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described in
the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Ind AS 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 independence requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Ind AS financial
statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the Standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is 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 including other
comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the
Company in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act., read with Rule
7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding 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 the 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 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 Standalone 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 Responsibility 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.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the
accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Standalone
Ind AS financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone Ind AS
financial statements.
