Management’s Responsibility for the Ind AS Financial Statements
The powers of the Board of Directors of the company have been suspendedafter admitting into CIRP.
The Company’s Management is responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flowsof the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible forassessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Management is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS FinancialStatements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind ASfinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these Ind AS Financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Wealso:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind ASfinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal controls.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and thereasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the goingconcern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of thestandalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whetherthe standalone financial statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Ind AS financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that theeconomic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financialstatements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant auditfindings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, wedetermine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the IndAS financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
