Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
