Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives an? to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are
tree 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 lie expected to influence the economic decisions ol users taken on the
basis of these Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs. we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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. I he risk of not detecting .1 material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. n< 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 13(3 )ti) of the Act. wc are also
responsible for expressing out opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial
controls with reference to Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness ol such
controls.

• Kvahiate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ot accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the l ompany > ability to continue as a going concern- It
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists. \vc are required to draw attention in our auditor's report
to the related disclosures in the 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 auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going
concern.

• Hvaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the f inancial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in .1
manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably know ledgeable 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 liii to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the 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 deficiencies in
internal financial controls that we identify during our audit.

We also pan ide those charged with governance w ith n statement that we have complied w ith relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other mailers that may reasonably be thought to hear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged w ith governance, we determine those mutters dim
were of most significance in the audit of the Financial Statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’^ 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 communicated in our report because the adv erse consequences of
doing so would reasonably he expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
