Annual report 2012 - VDL

Auditor’s
report
Statement concerning the abbreviated
annual accounts
The accompanying abbreviated annual accounts, consisting of
the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2012, the
consolidated profit and loss account 2012, the statement of
source and application of funds for 2012 and the principles for
valuation and determination of result were derived from the
consolidated annual accounts for 2012 of VDL Groep bv. We
have issued an approved opinion together with the annual
accounts, in our auditor’s report dated 24 May 2013.
The abbreviated annual accounts do not contain all explanatory notes as required in accordance with Book
9 of the Dutch Civil Code 2. Inspection of the abbreviated annual accounts can therefore not take the
place of inspection of the audited annual accounts of VDL Groep bv.
Responsibility of the Board
The Board is responsible for compiling a summary of the audited annual accounts in accordance with the
principles as described in the explanatory notes.
Responsibility of the accountant
Our responsibility is to issue an opinion on the abbreviated annual accounts on the basis of our work,
undertaken in accordance with Dutch law, including Dutch Standard 810, ‘Assignments to report on
abbreviated financial summaries’.
Opinion
In our opinion, the abbreviated annual accounts, in all materially-relevant aspects, are consistent with the
audited annual accounts of VDL Groep bv for 2012, and comply with the principles as described in the
explanatory notes.
