Report on the compliance of the format of
consolidated financial statements with the
requirements of the European Single Electronic
Format (“ESEF”)
We have been engaged based on the agreement
by the Management Board of the Parent Company
to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement
for the verification of compliance with the
applicable requirements of the electronic reporting
format of the consolidated financial statements of
Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the
“Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated
Financial Statements”).
Description of a subject matter and applicable
criteria
The Electronic Reporting Format of the
Consolidated Financial Statements has been
applied by the Management Board of the Parent
Company to comply with the requirements of art. 3
and 4 of the Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018
supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council with
regard to regulatory technical standards on the
specification of a single electronic reporting format
(the “ESEF Regulation”). The applicable
requirements regarding the Electronic Reporting
Format of the Consolidated Financial Statements
are contained in the ESEF Regulation.
The requirements described in the preceding
sentence determine the basis for application of the
Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated
Financial Statements and, in our view, constitute
appropriate criteria to form a reasonable
assurance conclusion.
We have been engaged by the Management
Board of the Parent Company to report on the
compliance of the format of the consolidated
financial statements with the requirements of the
ESEF Regulation. This report is intended to be
published together with the consolidated financial
statements of the Group.
Responsibility of the Management Board and
the Supervisory Board
The Management Board of the Parent Company is
responsible for the application of the Electronic
Reporting Format of the Consolidated Financial
Statements that complies with the requirements of
the ESEF Regulation.
This responsibility includes the selection and
application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using
ESEF taxonomy and designing, implementing and
maintaining internal controls relevant for the
preparation of the Electronic Reporting Format of
the Consolidated Financial Statements which is
free from material non-compliance with the
requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
Members of the Supervisory Board are responsible
for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Our responsibility was to express a reasonable
assurance conclusion whether the Electronic
Reporting Format of the Consolidated Financial
Statements complies with the ESEF Regulation.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with
National Standard on Assurance Engagements
3000 (Revised) ‘Assurance Engagements other
than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial
Information’, in the wording of the International
Standard on Assurance Services 3000 (Revised)
as adopted by the National Council of Statutory
Auditors (KSUA 3000 (Z)). This standard requires
that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and
perform procedures to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the Electronic Reporting
Format of the Consolidated Financial Statements
is prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance
with the applicable requirements.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but it does not guarantee that the
service performed in accordance with KSUA 3000
(Z) will always detect the existing material
misstatement.
Summary of the work performed
Our planned and performed procedures were
aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the
Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated
Financial Statements was applied, in all material
aspects, in accordance with the applicable
requirements and such application is free from
material errors or omissions.
