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 requirements of the
German Commercial Code. Under Section 315a of the German Commercial 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 re-
quirements and with internal Group guidelines, as well as the reliability and functioning 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 cor-
rective action as necessary.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, has ex-
amined 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 indicated in the
Report of the Supervisory Board.
