Auditors’ <strong>Report</strong><br />
We have audited the financial statements for <strong>2001</strong><br />
presented by the Board of Directors and the<br />
Executive Board of the <strong>Carlsberg</strong> <strong>Group</strong> and the<br />
Parent Company.<br />
Basis of opinion<br />
We have planned and conducted our audit in<br />
accordance with generally accepted Danish<br />
auditing principles and international standards on<br />
auditing to obtain reasonable assurance that the<br />
financial statements are free from material misstatements<br />
or omissions. Based on an evaluation<br />
of materiality and risk, we have, during the audit,<br />
tested the basis and documentation for the<br />
amounts and the disclosures in the financial<br />
statements. Our audit included an assessment of<br />
the accounting policies applied and the estimates<br />
made by the Board of Directors and the Executive<br />
Board. In addition, we have evaluated the overall<br />
adequacy of the presentation in the financial<br />
statements.<br />
Our audit has not resulted in any qualifications.<br />
Opinion<br />
In our opinion, the financial statements of the<br />
<strong>Group</strong> and the Parent Company have been<br />
prepared in accordance with the accounting<br />
provisions of Danish legislation and give a true<br />
and fair view of the <strong>Group</strong>’s and the Parent<br />
Company’s assets and liabilities, financial position<br />
and profit for the year.<br />
