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 IFRS Accounting Standards 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 statu-
tory 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 a going concern,
disclosing, 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 for the Audit of
the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements as a whole are free from material mis-
statement, 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 the aggre-
gate, 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 pro
-
vide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a mate-
rial 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 con
-
ditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent compa-
ny’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 disclo
-
sures 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
parent company or the group 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 transac
-
tions and events so that the financial statements give a true
and fair view.
• Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appro
-
priate audit evidence regarding the financial information of
the entities or business units within the group as a basis for
forming an opinion on the group financial statements. 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 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 Shareholder’s Meeting on
28.3.2018, and our appointment represents a total period of unin-
terrupted engagement of seven years.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsi-
ble 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 or our
auditor’s report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board
of Directors prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual
Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.
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 the report of the Board of Directors, our
responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the
Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the appli
-
cable provisions, excluding the sustainability report information on
which there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and
in the sustainability reporting standards.
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 compliance with the applicable provisions. Our opinion does not
cover the sustainability report information on which there are pro
-
visions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainability
reporting standards.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other infor-
mation that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report,
we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing
to report in this regard.
