3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial results are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts disclosed as financial results.
