OTHER INFORMATION THAN THE ANNUAL
ACCOUNTS AND CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
This document also contains other information than the annual
accounts and consolidated accounts and is found on pages 01-19,
89-93. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are
responsible for this other information. The other information also
consists of the remuneration report which we obtained before the
date of this audit report.
Our opinion on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts
does not cover this other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion regarding this other information.
In connection with our audit of the annual accounts and consoli-
dated accounts, our responsibility is to read the information iden-
tified above and consider whether the information is materially
inconsistent with the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
In this procedure we also take into account our knowledge other-
wise obtained in the audit and assess whether the information
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we, based on the work performed concerning this information,
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other infor-
mation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIREC-
TORS AND THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible
for the preparation of the annual accounts and consolidated
accounts and that they give a fair presentation in accordance
with the Annual Accounts Act and, concerning the consolidated
accounts, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as
adopted by the EU. The Board of Directors and the Managing
Director are also responsible for such internal control as they
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual
accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, The
Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible
for the assessment of the company’s and the group’s ability to
continue as a going concern. They disclose, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is however
not applied if the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
intends to liquidate the company, to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee shall, without prejudice to the Board of
Director’s responsibilities and tasks in general, among other
things oversee the company’s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reason-
able assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and generally
accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a mate-
rial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual
accounts and consolidated accounts.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise profes-
sional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
⁄ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures respon-
sive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
⁄ Obtain an understanding of the company’s internal control
relevant to our audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the compa-
ny’s internal control.
⁄ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the Board of Directors and the Managing
Director.
⁄ Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’
and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the annual accounts and consolidated
accounts. We also draw a conclusion, based on the audit
evidence obtained, as to whether any material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the company’s and the group’s ability to continue as
a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts and
consolidated accounts or, if such disclosures are inade-
quate, to modify our opinion about the annual accounts and
consolidated accounts. 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 a company
and a group to cease to continue as a going concern.
⁄ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the
disclosures, and whether the annual accounts and consol-
idated accounts represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
⁄ Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient and
appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information
of the entities or business units within the group as a basis
for forming an opinion on the consolidated accounts. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the
audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We
remain solely responsible for our opinions.
We must inform the Board of Directors of, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit. We must also inform
of significant audit findings during our audit, including any signifi-
cant deficiencies in internal control that we identified.
