Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the
Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible
for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give
a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws
and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements
in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. 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 financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors
and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent
company’s and the group’s ability to continue as going concern, dis
-
closing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are
prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is
an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease
operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities in the
Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level
of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we
exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. 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 internal control relevant to the
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 parent company’s or the
group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’
and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis
of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent
company’s or 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 financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 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 the company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events so that the financial statements give
a true and fair view.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business activities
within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a state-
ment that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and communicate with them all relation-
ships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on
our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with gov
-
ernance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public dis
-
closure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would rea-
sonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Information on our audit engagement
We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting
on 28.3.2018, and our appointment represents a total period of
uninterrupted engagement of three years.
Other information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises the
report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the
Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and
our report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other
information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information identified above
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is mate-
rially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially mis-
stated. With respect to report of the Board of Directors, our respon-
sibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board
of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable
laws and regulations.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of
Directors is consistent with the information in the financial state-
ments and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared
in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there
is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required
to report this fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
