Appendix 1
Business Report
The global economy slowly gained strength in 2017. However, many Taiwanese companies were affected by the sharp appreciation of the NTD against the U.S. dollar, as well as the pressure of rising material costs and direct labor costs. The business environment in 2017 was still full of challenges. With the joint efforts of all Delta team members, Delta’s consolidated revenues increased 4% from the previous year to NT$223.6 billion in 2017, while gross profit amounted to NT$60.8 billion, 2% higher than last year, with a gross margin of 27.2%. Net operating profits decreased 5% from 2016 to NT$19.8 billion with an 8.8% net operating margin. Our net income after tax decreased slightly by 2% from the previous year to NT$18.4 billion, which represented 8.2% of revenues. Delta’s 2017 earnings per share (EPS) was NT$7.08 and the return on equity (ROE) ratio was 14.8%.
In 2010, Delta’s management team jointly set a vision for “developing the brand business and providing customer solutions” as the strategic direction of our long-term development. In order to speed up the transition, Delta completed an internal organizational adjustment in 2017. We adjusted our three major business divisions (Power electronics, Energy Management, and Smart Green Life) that were originally divided by product category into market-oriented new business areas (Power Electronics, Automation, Infrastructure), as well established an automotive electronics business group directly under the category of Power Electronics. We believe the adjustments will help Delta provide more efficient solutions that meet our customers' needs. The following is a summary of our 2017 business results and prospects for the future.
Power Electronics Not only has Delta maintained its leading position in the global market in the fields of power supplies, brushless DC fans, and others. Delta also ranks among the world's top manufacturers in the specific applications of thermal management and miniaturized components. As the telecommunications and consumer electronics markets have matured, Delta has already expanded these products into other areas such as medical care, industrial management, household appliances, automotive electronics and electric cars, and has won high praise from customers.
17
In the spirit of the continuous pursuit of innovation, Delta not only showcased the world’s first highbrightness 8K projector at last year’s “Delta Green Building Exhibition”, but also launched "Innergie 55cc," the world's smallest universal charger, with a volume of only 55cc and a weight of 88g. In addition, Delta received the 2017 Quality Excellence Award from HP Inc. Delta's X-ray high-voltage power supply also obtained third-party medical equipment certification from TÜV Rheinland last year, and passed the EU Medical Device Directive (MDD) and ISO Medical Quality Management System certification, to become the first Taiwanese manufacturer to produce a high voltage power supply for medical X-rays. The computer-based tomography scanner DELPet-μCT developed and produced by Delta's subsidiary DELBio Inc. won the highest honor at last year’s Taiwan Excellence Gold Awards. With the advent of DELPet-μCT, Delta is expected to bring new contributions to medical research, new drug development, and other applications.
Although demand in the information market is slowing, we believe that Delta will continue to grow as we expand our application coverage. The revenue and profits contributed by the Power Electronics business will also become one of the strongest and most important pillars supporting Delta’s strategic transformation and the development of our new businesses.
Automation Industrial automation is an area that Delta has been devoted to for over two decades. In addition to the horizontal expansion of product specifications, we also have complete vertical integration in our product line. Delta's acquisition of Unicom in 2016, which includes an MES (Manufacturing Execution System), further perfected Delta's vertical layout in industrial automation.
Delta has been planning to introduce its Delta Smart Manufacturing (DSM) solutions since 2016, and in 2017, and has established the Smart Manufacturing Department responsible for the development and promotion of Delta's smart manufacturing business. Our goal is to automate equipment, automate processes, automate logistics, and through the collection of big data, analysis of data, and others, to gradually and progressively achieve the ultimate goal of industrial “intelligence”. At the same time, through the introduction of Delta's own automation experience, we can provide customers with better solutions, and help create a more flexible smart green factory.
18
In terms of building automation, following Delta’s acquisitions of Loytec and Delta Controls Inc. in 2016, we again publicly acquired 49.2% shareholdings in the Taiwan-listed company Vivotek Inc. in 2017 to complement Delta’s security monitoring capabilities.
In response to the market's rising demand for Industry 4.0 and smart green buildings, we believe that the automation department's business will continue to lead Delta to its next peak and become one of the most important dynamics of the company's future growth.
Infrastructure In terms of communication infrastructure, Delta not only holds a leading global position in telecommunications power supplies, but also plays a significant role in the global market for continuous power systems, comprehensive data center solutions, and network communications.
In terms of energy infrastructure, we are looking at the market layout of the entire smart microgrid of the future. With government policies that continue to promote the adoption of electric cars, we are providing energy storage devices as well as cooperating with well-known vehicle manufacturers in two-way grids for electric cars. The power-receiving and power-supply design enables each electric car to become a mobile energy storage battery, so as to buffer the grid load and achieve optimum energy use.
We are convinced that to become a truly sustainable enterprise for the next century, we must continue to invest in corporate social responsibility and improve corporate governance while pursuing optimal revenue growth and financial performance. This is our duty.
Delta's mission is “To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow”. With our long-term focus on climate change and sustainable corporate development, we continue to invest in R&D to provide highly efficient energy-saving products and solutions. Delta is among the first to adopt international targets to scientifically reduce carbon emissions. Our carbon target is to reduce carbon intensity by 56.6% by 2025 using the base year of 2014. In December 2017, Delta passed the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) conformity review, becoming the first in Taiwan and among the first 100 companies in the world to be approved, and taking specific actions towards the goal of controlling global warming by 2°C.
19
Delta actively participates in international climate events through the Delta Electronics Foundation. At the COP23 UN Climate Conference held in Bonn, Germany in 2017, Delta was invited by the Local Governments for Sustainability, Council for Sustainable Development (ICLEI) to share with opinion leaders and decision makers from various countries our experience assisting cities in promoting sustainable development, and our practical achievements in construction, transportation, and energy infrastructure. Delta was the only corporate representative participating in the related conferences.
Delta's achievements in promoting corporate social responsibility are highly recognized worldwide. We were selected for the "World Index" and "Emerging Markets Index" of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices in 2017, and won the RobecoSAM "2017 Sustainability Award". Our "Carbon Disclosure Project" received "Climate Change Leadership Level" revealing the climate change aspects of the supply chain, and gained A-level recognition. Last year, Delta won Corporate Social Responsibility Awards presented by Global Views Monthly, CommonWealth Magazine, and the 2017 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards, and ranked as one of the Top 5% Listed Companies by the "Taiwan Stock Exchange" Corporate Governance Review Awards. In addition, the value of Delta's brand in 2017 once again made a major leap forward, up 11% from 2016, reaching US$250 million. We are one of the companies with the highest ratio of brand value growth as well as the only company that has grown for two consecutive years. Delta sincerely thanks our customers, suppliers, shareholders and the community for your support.
Looking to the future, we hope that through the balanced development of our three major business areas Power Electronics, Automation and Infrastructure, Delta will continue to operate sustainably and pursue opportunities in the international arena. As we lead our Delta team members to yet another growth peak, we are devoted to maintaining our role as a well-respected, world-class company that addresses human needs, is friendly to the environment, and has a positive impact on society.

Appendix 2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Electronics Inc. as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the reports of other independent accountants are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion
21
thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Investments accounted for under equity method
Description
A subsidiary of the Company acquired 51% of Delta Energy Systems (Switzerland) AG, which was renamed as Delta Electronics (Switzerland) AG in April 2017. The acquisition was accounted for by the subsidiary as an investment accounted for under equity method.
As the allocation of goodwill and the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on management’s estimation and involved accounting estimations and assumptions, we consider the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of the above equity interest a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained an understanding of the basis and process of purchase price allocation which was estimated by management. We assessed the original data and the reasonableness of major assumptions, including growth rate, gross margin, discount rate and fair value calculation model as indicated in the purchase price allocation report prepared by the appraisers appointed by the subsidiary of the Company. Our procedures also included the following:
-
A. Assessing the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
B. Comparing expected growth rates and gross margin with historical data, economic and industry forecasts; and
-
C. Comparing the discount rate with the cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rates of return of similar assets.
Impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method
Description
As of December 31, 2017, Cyntec Co., Ltd. - a reinvestment company of the Company, ELTEK AS
- a reinvestment company of Delta Electronics (Netherlands) B.V., Loy Tec electronics GmbH - a
22
reinvestment company of Delta Controls Inc. and Delta Electronics Int’l (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and Delta Greentech (China) Co., Ltd. - reinvestment companies of Delta International Holding Limited. These reinvestments made by certain subsidiaries were material and generated goodwill and other intangible assets. Refer to Notes 5(1) and 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions of impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method.
As the balance of investments accounted for under equity method is material, the valuation model adopted in the impairment assessment has an impact in determining the recoverable amount which involves significant accounting estimates and prediction of future cash flows. Thus, we consider the impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained management’s impairment assessment of investments accounted for under equity method, obtained an understanding of the process in determining the expected future cash flows based on each cash generating unit, and performed the following audit procedures:
-
A. Assessed whether the valuation models adopted by the Company are reasonable for the industry, environment and the valued assets of the Company;
-
B. Confirmed whether the expected future cash flows adopted in the valuation model are in agreement with the budget provided by the business units; and
-
C. Assessed the reasonableness of material assumptions, such as expected growth rates, operating margin and discount rates, by:
-
(a) Checking the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
(b) Comparing the expected growth rate based on operating margin with historical data, economic and industrial forecast documents;
-
(c) Comparing the discount rate with cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rates of return of similar assets.
– Other matter Scope of the Audit
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity
23
method. These investments accounted for under equity method amounted to NT$13,517,165 thousand and NT$9,236,030 thousand, constituting 8.29% and 5.78% of total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method was NT$1,036,192 thousand and NT$1,038,065 thousand, constituting 7.72% and 8.22% of total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements relative to these investees is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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
24
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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;
B. 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 Company’s internal control;
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’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 Company’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;
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; and
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
25
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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 statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships 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 governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only 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 disclosure 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 reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Appendix 3
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Electronics, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of the other independent accountants, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Codes of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Codes”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Codes. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2017. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
35
Business combination
Description
The Group acquired 51% of Delta Energy Systems (Switzerland) AG (renamed as Delta Electronics (Switzerland) AG ) in the amount of NT$388,940 thousand in April 2017. The value of intangible assets, inclusive of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets – premium on customer relationship, acquired from the merger is significant. The merger was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3, “Business Combination”. For details of purchase price allocation, please refer to Note 6(33).
As the allocation of goodwill and the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired are based on management’s estimation and involves accounting estimations and assumptions, we consider this business combination transaction a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained an understanding of the basis and process of purchase price allocation which was estimated by management. We appointed internal appraisers to review the original data and the reasonableness of major assumptions, including growth rate, gross margin, discount rate and fair value calculation model as indicated in the purchase price allocation reports prepared by the appraisers appointed by the Group. Our procedures also included the following:
-
A. Assessing the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
B. Comparing expected growth rates and gross margin with historical data, economic and industry forecasts; and
-
C. Comparing the discount rate with the cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rate of returns of similar assets.
Impairment assessment of intangible assets
Description
As of December 31, 2017, the recognised goodwill and intangible assets – customer relationship as a result of acquisitions of Cyntec Co., Ltd., Loy Tec electronics GmbH, Eltek AS, Delta Controls Inc. and Delta Greentech (China) Co., Ltd. amounted to NT$15,844,592 thousand and NT$5,113,030 thousand, constituting 8.37% of consolidated total assets. Please refer to Notes 5(2) and 6(12).
As the balance of goodwill and intangible assets – customer relationship acquired from merger is material, the valuation model adopted in the impairment assessment has
36
an impact in determining the recoverable amount which involves the significant accounting estimates and prediction of future cash flows. Thus, we consider the impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets – customer relationship a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained management’s impairment assessment of goodwill and intangible assets, obtained an understanding of the process in determining the expected future cash flows based on each cash generating unit, and performed the following audit procedures:
-
A. Assessing whether the valuation models adopted by the Group are reasonable for the industry, environment and the valued assets of the Group;
-
B. Confirming whether the expected future cash flows adopted in the valuation model are in agreement with the budget provided by the business units; and
-
C. Assessing the reasonableness of material assumptions, such as expected growth rates, operating margin and discount rates, by:
-
(a) Checking the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
-
(b) Comparing the expected growth rate with operating margin with historical data, economic and industrial forecast documents; and
-
(c) Comparing the discount rate with cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rate of returns of similar assets.
– Other matter Scope of the Audit
We did not audit the financial statements of wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries and an investment accounted for under the equity method that are included in the consolidated financial statements. Total assets of the subsidiaries amounted to NT$9,128,719 thousand and NT$5,202,263 thousand, constituting 3.64% and 2.21% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and operating revenue was NT$4,218,765 thousand and NT$3,513,380 thousand, constituting 1.89% and 1.64% of consolidated total operating revenue for the years then ended, respectively. The balance of investment accounted for under equity method was NT$7,418,365 thousand and NT$7,084,482 thousand, constituting 2.96% and 3.01% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method was NT$923,720 thousand and NT$909,301 thousand, constituting 6.79% and 7.07% of consolidated total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements and information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose report thereon have been furnished to
37
us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
Other matter-Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Delta Electronics, Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 ROC GAAS 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
38
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.
2.
-
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 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 management’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 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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
5.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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 statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships 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 governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated
39
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 disclosure 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 reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
