Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives arc 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 auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance Is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit eonduebed in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and arc 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 skepti ci sm thro u gh ou t the and it. We also:
(i) 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 auditcvidcncc 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 ofinternal control.
(Li) Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls with rc fcrence to fi nanci al s La tc me n ts i n p la cc a nd th c o pera ti ng c ffcctivcncs s o fsuch control s.
(iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the standalone financial statements made by the Management
(iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of managements 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 ability of the company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, wo arc required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the Stand alone financial statements or, IT such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
(v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone consolidated financial statements rc p rc sent the u ? d criying tra ns actions and eve nts in a man n cr that achi eves fai r prese n tation.
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 qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect ofany 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 significant dehei enci es i n in tc rnal control that wc ide n ti fy du ring our aud i L
