148 Annual Report | Financial Report | Financial statements of Swiss <strong>Post</strong> Group<br />

Report of the Group Auditors to<br />

the Federal Council<br />

Swiss <strong>Post</strong>, Berne (Swiss <strong>Post</strong> Group)<br />

As group auditors, we have audited the consolidated financial statements (balance sheet, income statement,<br />

statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes) of Swiss <strong>Post</strong> Group presented on pages 94 to<br />

147 of the Swiss <strong>Post</strong> financial report for the year ended 31 December 2006.<br />

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the board of directors. Our responsibility is to<br />

express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We confirm that we meet<br />

the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.<br />

Our audit was conducted in accordance with Swiss Auditing Standards and with the International Standards<br />

on Auditing (ISA), which require that an audit be planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance<br />

about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We have examined on<br />

a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.<br />

We have also assessed the accounting principles used, significant estimates made and the overall consolidated<br />

financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.<br />

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position,<br />

the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards<br />

(IFRS) and comply with <strong>Post</strong>al Organization Act.<br />

We recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.<br />

Without qualifying our opinion we refer to note 2 “Accounting principles“ in the notes to the consolidated<br />

financial statements. In view of the thin capitalization, the Swiss <strong>Post</strong>’s status as a going concern is dependent<br />

upon the assumption, that – in accordance with the state guarantee ­ the required funds will be provided<br />
