Grundlag for konklusion (revision):Basis for opinionWe conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional require-ments applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suf-ficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. IndependenceWe are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ In-ternational Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements ap-plicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethi-cal responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided. AppointmentWe were first appointed auditors of DFDS A/S on 23 March 2021 for the financial year 2021. We have been reappoint-ed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 2 years including the finan-cial year 2022.
Konklusion (revision):Our opinionIn our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s financial position at 31 December 2022 of the results of the Group’s and the Parent Company’s operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2022 in ac-cordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Dan-ish Financial Statements Act. Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. What we have auditedThe Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Com-pany Financial Statements of DFDS A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022, [pages 95 - 176], comprise income statement and statement of comprehen-sive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equi-ty, statement of cash flows and notes, including summary of significant accounting policies for the Group as well as for the Parent Company. Collectively referred to as the “Financial Statements”.
Udtalelse om ledelsesberetningen (revision):Statement on the Management’s reviewManagement is responsible for the Management’s review, [pages 11 - 94]. Our opinion on the Financial Statements døs not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is ma-terially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, we considered whether Management’s Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Manage-ment’s Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review.
