How our audit addressed the most relevantaspects of the audit

Valuation of Investment Property

Investment properties make up 94% of the Group's assets. As described in Note 3.3, the Group applies the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40 and has recognised a negative change in fair value of investment property amounting to €23,355 thousand in the consolidated income statement for 2020, as described in Note 6. Total Investment property recognised in non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet totals €1,003,490 thousand at 31 March 2020.

The Group recognises the market value of investment property based independent expert valuations. Valuations are performed in accordance with the Appraisal and Valuation Standards published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of Great Britain and in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS) published by the International Standards Valuation Committee, whose methodology is described in notes 2.3 and 6 to the accompanying consolidated annual accounts.

In calculating the values, the Group considers specific factors such as the lease contracts signed. Similarly, they apply certain assumptions with respect to variables such as discount rates, estimated market rent in order to arrive at a final valuation.

The third party valuers engaged by management have included a material valuation uncertainty clause in their report. This clause highlights that less certainty, and consequently a higher degree of caution, should be attached to the valuation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This represents a significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the valuation of investment properties.

The significance of the estimates and judgements involved in these valuations,For the acquisition of Investment Properties, we verified the key supporting documentation, such as contracts or sale-purchase deeds or other documents affecting the price.

Additionally, we have obtained the valuation of investment properties carried out by independent experts on which we performed the following procedures, among others:

  • ‒ Verification of the expert's competence, capacity and independence by obtaining confirmation and corroborating its professional standing in the market.

  • ‒ Verifying that the valuations were performed according to accepted methodology.

  • ‒ Discussion of the principal key assumptions of the valuation through sundry meetings with the expert valuer and management.

  • ‒ Performing selective tests to verify the accuracy of the most relevant data provided by Management to the valuer and used by it in the valuations.

  • ‒ Evaluation of consistency of the main assumptions used factoring in existing market conditions.

We considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 6 in the consolidated annual accounts. This note explain that there is significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the valuation of investment properties. We discussed with management and obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to demonstrate that management's assessment of the suitability of the inclusion of the valuation in the statement of financial position and disclosures made in the consolidated annual accounts was appropriate.

coupled with the fact that a minor difference in percentage terms in the valuation of a property could result in a material figure, means that the valuation of investment properties is considered a most relevant aspect of the audit.

Additionally, we assessed the sufficiency of the information disclosed in the consolidated annual accounts.

As a result, we consider that Management's approach is reasonable and supported by the available evidence.
