Our Audit Approach

Overview

• Overall group materiality: € 65 million, which represents approximately 5 % of the the average profit before tax for the last three years.

• The group audit scope encompassed all significant group companies, as well as a number of smaller group companies in Europe, Asia, North America and South America covering the vast majority of revenue, assets and liabilities.

• Valuation of forest assets • Valuation of energy shareholdings

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
