The Board of Management of AUDI AG is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements and group management report. Reporting is performed on the basis of
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as applicable within the European
Union, and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (IFRIC). The group management report is prepared in accordance with the re-
quirements of the German Commercial Code. Under Section 315a of the German Commer-
cial Code, AUDI AG is obliged to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance
with the requirements of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The regularity of the consolidated financial statements and group management report is
assured by means of internal controlling systems, the implementation of uniform guidelines
throughout the group, and employee training and advancement measures. Compliance with
the legal requirements and with internal group guidelines, as well as the reliability and func-
tioning of the systems of controlling, are checked on an ongoing basis throughout the
group. The early warning function required by law is achieved by means of a group-wide risk
management system that enables the Board of Management to identify potential risks at an
early stage and initiate corrective action as necessary.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich,
has examined the consolidated financial statements and group management report in its
capacity as independent auditor, in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General
Meeting, and issued its unqualified certification as shown on the page opposite.
The consolidated financial statements, the group management report, the audit report
and the measures to be taken by the Board of Management for the prompt identification of
risks which could pose a threat to the company’s survival were discussed at length by the
Supervisory Board in the presence of the auditors. The findings of this examination are indi-
cated in the Report of the Supervisory Board.
