54 Munich Re Group Quarterly Report 3/2008
Review report
To Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in
München
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements –
comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, the condensed cash flow
statement, the condensed statement of changes in equity as well as the
selected explanatory notes – and the interim management report of
Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in München,
for the period from 1 January 2008 to 30 September 2008, which are parts of
the quarterly financial report in accordance with Section 37x para. 3 of the
WpHG (German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the condensed
interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS for Interim
Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and of the interim management
report, which has been prepared according to the applicable regulations for
interim management reports of the WpHG, are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed
interim consolidated financial statements and the interim management
report based on our review.
We have performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial
statements and the interim management report in accordance with the
German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements
promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards
require that we plan and conduct the review so that we can, through critical
evaluation, preclude, with a certain level of assurance, that the interim consolidated
financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in
accordance with IFRS for Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU,
and that the interim management report has not been prepared according to
the applicable regulations of the WpHG. A review is limited primarily to inquiries
of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not
provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in
accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement
audit, we cannot issue an auditor’s report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to
presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have
not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with IFRS for Interim
Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, and that the interim management
report has not been prepared according to the applicable regulations for
interim management reports of the WpHG.
