8. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurancebut is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thestandalone financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(lftheAct, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls withreference to standalone financial statements in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used andthe reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosuresin the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor’s report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of thestandalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.

• We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
• From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financialstatements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters.
