Report of the Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board kept itself informed of the company’s state of affairs and on important
management issues during the financial year 2015 by means of regular verbal and
written reports from the Management Board. The Supervisory Board set up a Financial
Committee and a Transport Committee as well as an Arbitration Committee as required
by law, and on 18 March 2015 additionally set up an Identification Committee to select a
successor for the position of Chairman of the Management Board of the Hamburger
Hochbahn AG. During the financial year 2015, the Supervisory Board held four meetings,
the Finance Committee two meetings and the Identification Committee six meetings.
The Annual Statement of Accounts and the Group Management Report of the Hamburger
Hochbahn AG for the year ended on 31 December 2015 and the company’s accounting
processes were audited by Ebner Stolz GmbH & Co. KG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft
Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Hamburg, which the company chose as its annual auditors at
the last Annual General Meeting. No objections were made during the audit and an audit
certificate was granted without reservation.
The audit reports were submitted to the Supervisory Board members. In addition,
the annual auditor presented a report on the most important results of the audit at the
financial accounts meeting held by the Finance Committee.
The Supervisory Board examined the Annual Statement of Accounts and the Group
Management Report of the Hamburger Hochbahn AG and, in agreement with the
auditors, raised no objections. It has therefore accepted and passed the Annual
Statement of Accounts as presented by the Management Board.
