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 erroi 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 1
43(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to Standalone
Financial Statements 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 fail
presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitat^J&c^phKm (i) planning the scope of our audit work and
/&y°\
in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified
misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements.
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 sigmfican
deficiencies in internal financial controls that we identity 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 a
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 governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone 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 communicate in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
