Auditor's responsibility

  1. It is our responsibility to express a reasonable assurance on the compliance of the electronic format of the financial statements with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
  2. We conducted a reasonable assurance mission in accordance with ISAE 3000 (revised)

"Assurance engagements other than auditing or reviewing historical financial information" [ISAE 3000 (revised)]. This standard requires us to adhere to ethical standards and to plan and carry out our mission in such a way as to obtain reasonable assurance about the extent to which the electronic format of the Company's financial statements is prepared in all material respects in accordance with the ESEF Regulation. The nature, timing and extent of the selected procedures depend on our reasoning, including an assessment of the risk of material misstatement in relation to the requirements of the ESEF Regulation caused by either fraud or error.

  1. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but there is no guarantee that the ISAE 3000 (revised) assurance mission will always detect a significant distortion of requirements, if any.
  2. We apply the International Standard on Quality Control 1, "Quality Control for Companies Conducting Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance Assignments and Related Services", and we therefore maintain a sound quality control system, which includes policies and documented procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and legal and regulatory provisions applicable to auditors registered in Romania.
  3. We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have complied with the requirements of ethics and independence imposed by the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including international standards of independence) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IESBA Code).
