Ledelsen har endvidere ansvaret for den interne kontrol, som ledelsen anser for nødvendig for at udarbejde et årsregnskab uden væsentlig fejlinformation, uanset om denne skyldes besvigelser eller fejl.
Ved udarbejdelsen af årsregnskabet er ledelsen ansvarlig for at vurdere selskabets evne til at fortsætte driften; at oplyse om forhold vedrørende fortsat drift, hvor dette er relevant; samt at udarbejde årsregnskabet på grundlag af regnskabsprincippet om fortsat drift, medmindre ledelsen enten har til hensigt at likvidere selskabet, indstille driften eller ikke har andet realistisk alternativ end at gøre dette.</g:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements>
  <g:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed contextRef="c1" xml:lang="da">Vores mål er at opnå høj grad af sikkerhed for, om årsregnskabet som helhed er uden væsentlig fejlinformation, uanset om denne skyldes besvigelser eller fejl, og at afgive en revisionspåtegning med en konklusion. Høj grad af sikkerhed er et højt niveau af sikkerhed, men er ikke en garanti for, at en revision, der udføres i overensstemmelse med internationale standarder om revision og de yderligere krav, der er gældende i Danmark, altid vil afdække væsentlig fejlinformation, når sådan findes. Fejlinformationer kan opstå som følge af besvigelser eller fejl og kan betragtes som væsentlige, hvis det med rimelighed kan forventes, at de enkeltvis eller samlet har indflydelse på de økonomiske beslutninger, som regnskabsbrugerne træffer på grundlag af årsregnskabet.
Som led i en revision, der udføres i overensstemmelse med internationale standarder om revision og de yderligere krav, der er gældende i Danmark, foretager vi faglige vurderinger og opretholder professionel skepsis under revisionen. Herudover:
Identificerer og vurderer vi risikoen for væsentlig fejlinformation i årsregnskabet, uanset om denne skyldes besvigelser eller fejl, udformer og udfører revisionshandlinger som reaktion på disse risici samt opnår revisionsbevis, der er tilstrækkeligt og egnet til at danne grundlag for vores konklusion. Risikoen for ikke at opdage væsentlig fejlinformation forårsaget af besvigelser er højere end ved væsentlig fejlinformation forårsaget af fejl, idet besvigelser kan omfatte sammensværgelser, dokumentfalsk, bevidste udeladelser, vildledning eller tilsidesættelse af intern kontrol.
Opnår vi forståelse af den interne kontrol med relevans for revisionen for at kunne udforme revisionshandlinger, der er passende efter omstændighederne, men ikke for at kunne udtrykke en konklusion om effektiviteten af selskabets interne kontrol.
Tager vi stilling til, om den regnskabspraksis, som er anvendt af ledelsen, er passende, samt om de regnskabsmæssige skøn og tilknyttede oplysninger, som ledelsen har udarbejdet, er rimelige.
Konkluderer vi, om ledelsens udarbejdelse af årsregnskabet på grundlag af regnskabsprincippet om fortsat drift er passende, samt om der på grundlag af det opnåede revisionsbevis er væsentlig usikkerhed forbundet med begivenheder eller forhold, der kan skabe betydelig tvivl om selskabets evne til at fortsætte driften. Hvis vi konkluderer, at der er en væsentlig usikkerhed, skal vi i vores revisionspåtegning gøre opmærksom på oplysninger herom i årsregnskabet eller, hvis sådanne oplysninger ikke er tilstrækkelige, modificere vores konklusion. Vores konklusion er baseret på det revisionsbevis, der er opnået frem til datoen for vores revisionspåtegning. Fremtidige begivenheder eller forhold kan dog medføre, at selskabet ikke længere kan fortsætte driften.
Tager vi stilling til den samlede præsentation, struktur og indhold af årsregnskabet, herunder noteoplysningerne, samt om årsregnskabet afspejler de underliggende transaktioner og begivenheder på en sådan måde, at der gives et retvisende billede heraf.
Vi kommunikerer med den øverste ledelse om bl.a. det planlagte omfang og den tidsmæssige placering af revisionen samt betydelige revisionsmæssige observationer, herunder eventuelle betydelige mangler i intern kontrol, som vi identificerer under revisionen.</g:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed>

Vores konklusion om årsregnskabet omfatter ikke ledelsesberetningen, og vi udtrykker ingen form for konklusion med sikkerhed om ledelsesberetningen.
I tilknytning til vores revision af årsregnskabet er det vores ansvar at læse ledelsesberetningen og i den forbindelse overveje, om ledelsesberetningen er væsentligt inkonsistent med årsregnskabet eller vores viden opnået ved revisionen eller på anden måde synes at indeholde væsentlig fejlinformation.
Vores ansvar er derudover at overveje, om ledelsesberetningen indeholder krævede oplysninger i henhold til årsregnskabsloven.
Baseret på det udførte arbejde er det vores opfattelse, at ledelsesberetningen er i overensstemmelse med årsregnskabet og er udarbejdet i overensstemmelse med årsregnskabslovens krav.

  <h:DescriptionOfPrimaryActivitiesOfEntity contextRef="c1" xml:lang="da">Der er ikke sket ændringer i ejerforhold i Staples Danmark ApS.
I 2018 gik vi mere detaljeret igennem selskabets strategi for perioden 2019-2021, hvilket har betydet en klart defineret målsætning mod 2021. Destination 2021 er nu navnet på den strategi som skal udvikle Staples Solutions de kommende år.
Arbejdet med at implementere Destination 2021 fortsatte som planlagt med at forsvare vores position indenfor traditionelle kontorartikler samt operativt sikre at vores funktioner holder den høje standard som har været vores kendetegn de seneste 7-8 år.
Vi er også påbegyndt rejsen med at udvikle vores virksomhed til en mere integreret leverandør af både produkter og tjenester for såvel dagens som morgendagens arbejdsplads. Vi skal gøre det med et større fokus på små og mellemstore virksomheder samt med en digital oplevelse via vores web platforme af højeste klasse.
Fortsatte satsninger på onlinesalg og aftaler med vores kunder er sket samtidigt som vores sortiment af produkter, service og tjenester er udbygget til flere kategorier.
Vi skal være tæt på vores kunder, alt begynder og slutter her. Vores personale i Danmark findes over hele landet og alle som arbejder hos os, uanset funktion og afdeling, har ambitioner om at svare hurtigt, levere produkter og ydelser i rette mængde, til rette tid, i god kvalitet, pakket på den rigtige måde, leveret med præcision og med høj service.
Ovenstående forandringer kommer også som en konsekvens af, at vores marked gennemgår en omstilling og forandring. Forbruget af traditionelle kontorartikler falder til fordel for mere teknologiorienterede produkter, indkøbsadfærden hos vores kunder ændres, og nye aktører etablerer sig på markedet, eller udvider deres forretningsområder.
Staples som varemærke vil fortsat blive delt med Staples Inc og vi vil i fællesskab servicere og tage ansvar for globale kunder på de fem kontinenter, hvor vi opererer.</h:DescriptionOfPrimaryActivitiesOfEntity>

 Virksomhedens evne til at forsætte driften og indfri forpligtelserne, som de forfalder afhænger af tilførelse af likviditet fra koncernselskab. Koncernselskabet har garanteret den nødvendige likviditet for, at virksomheden kan fortsætte driften for det kommende år, hvorfor ledelsen på denne baggrund aflægger årsrapporten udfra virksomhedens fortsættelse som going concern.</h:DescriptionOfDevelopmentInActivitiesAndFinancialAffairs>

Kundeservice i Borås og Portugal er i april 2019 flyttet til København, og der er etableret et lokalt kundeservicecenter. Der ses en væsentlig omkostningsreduktion forbundet med dette.
Der er foretaget en organisatorisk tilpasning i forbindelse med etablering af kundeservice, der har betydet en udskiftning af 3 sælgere til SMB-segmentet.</h:DescriptionOfNon-FinancialFactorsRelevantToSpecificActivities>

Efter regnskabsårets afslutning er verden blevet hårdt ramt af Covid-19, og Staples Danmark ApS. forventes at blive påvirket direkte såvel som indirekte af denne pandemi. De kortsigtede konsekvenser er kendetegnet ved reduceret ordreindtagelse fra især den private sektor parallelt med vanskeligheder med at imødekomme markant øget efterspørgsel efter bestemte produktområder inden for vores sortiment. Konsekvenserne på mellemlang til lang sigt er vanskelige at overse på nuværende tidspunkt.</h:DescriptionOfSignificantEventsOccurringAfterEndOfReportingPeriod>
  <h:DescriptionOfExpectedDevelopment contextRef="c1" xml:lang="da">Den proces som Staples Danmark påbegyndte for snart 6 år siden, vil fortsætte i 2020. Vi har nu gennemført en succesfuld optimering af forretningsmodel, processer, organisation og omkostninger, og i 2020 går vi ind i næste fase, med fokus på vækst og fastholdelse af indtjeningsniveau.
En detaljeret plan for udvikling og vækst er udarbejdet frem mod 2021, baseret på gældende og forventet konkurrencesituation, ekspansionsmuligheder og markedsforhold.
Bl.a. vil en allerede synlig vækst blandt globale kunder, både via udvikling af eksisterende og nye, øget fokus på SMB/mid market kunder samt fortsat vækst og udvikling af vores nyetablerede distributionsforretning (EMO) give en forbedret markedsposition.
Tilpasning af organisation og fokus på omkostninger vil fortsat være en prioritet, samt udvikling af produktsortiment og tilførsel af nye produktkategorier.</h:DescriptionOfExpectedDevelopment>

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company at 31 January 2020 and of the results of the Company's operations for the financial year 1 February 2019 - 31 January 2020 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.</g:OpinionOnAuditedFinancialStatements>
  <g:DescriptionOfQualificationsOfAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these rules and requirements.</g:DescriptionOfQualificationsOfAuditedFinancialStatements>
  <g:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.</g:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements>
  <g:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the note disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.</g:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed>
  <g:StatementOnManagementsReviewAuditorsReportOnAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Management is responsible for the Management's review.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.</g:StatementOnManagementsReviewAuditorsReportOnAuditedFinancialStatements>
  <h:DescriptionOfPrimaryActivitiesOfEntity contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">The ownership in Staples Danmark ApS has not been subject to any changes.
In 2018, we discussed the Company's strategy thoroughly for the period 2019-2021, which implied that we have clearly defined goals for 2021. Destination 2021 is now the name of the strategy that is to develop Staples Solutions in the years ahead.
Our efforts to implement Destination 2021 continued as planned, to continue defending our position within traditional stationeries and in terms of operation to ensure that our functionality keeps the high standard, which has characterised our business for the past 7-8 years.
We have also started developing our business into a more integrated supplier of products and services to today's as well as tomorrow's workplace. We need to do so focussing to a higher extent on small and medium-sized enterprises and through a digital experience via our high-quality web platforms.
Increased focus on on-line sale and agreements with our customers has taken place concurrently with an expansion of our product programme and services to cover more categories.
We need to be close to our customers – everything begins and ends there. Our staff in Denmark is located across the country, and everyone working for us, irrespective of function and department, strives at making prompt replies, supplying products and services in the correct volume, at the right time, in good quality, packed in the right way, supplied with precision and at high service level.
The above changes are also a consequence of the changes and reconversion that characterise our market. The use of traditional stationeries decrease in favour of more technology-oriented products, our customers' purchasing behaviour is changing and new players establish on the market or expand their business areas.
Staples as a brand will still be shared with Staples Inc, and together we will provide services to and take responsibility for our global customers on the five continents on which we operate.</h:DescriptionOfPrimaryActivitiesOfEntity>
  <h:DescriptionOfDevelopmentInActivitiesAndFinancialAffairs contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">The income statement for 2019/20 shows a loss of DKK 12,500 thousand against a loss of DKK 14,738 thousand last year, and the balance sheet at 31 January 2020 shows a negative equity of DKK 70 thousand. 

The Company's ability to continue operations as they fall dure depends on continued funding from the Group Company. The Group Company has guaranteed to provide the funding required to continue operations in the coming year, against which background Management has presented the financial statements on a going concern assumption.</h:DescriptionOfDevelopmentInActivitiesAndFinancialAffairs>
  <h:DescriptionOfNon-FinancialFactorsRelevantToSpecificActivities contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">The implementation of Branding Solutions in Denmark has given us more opportunities for offering new printed and profile services to existing as well as new customers - in the private and public sectors.
Customer service in Borås and Portugal moved to Copenhagen in April 2019, and a local customer service center has been established. This initiative has implied a considerable cost reduction.
The organisation has been adjusted in connection with the establishment of customer service, which implied an exchange of three salesmen to the SMB segment.</h:DescriptionOfNon-FinancialFactorsRelevantToSpecificActivities>
  <h:DescriptionOfSignificantEventsOccurringAfterEndOfReportingPeriod contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">No events materially affecting the Company's financial position have occurred subsequent to the financial year-end.
After the financial year-end, the world has been severely impacted by Covid-19, and Staples Danmark ApS is expected to be affected directly as well as indirectly by this pandemic. The short-term consequences are reduced order intake in particular from the private sector concurrently with difficulties in meeting a considerable rise in demand for particular products in our assortment. The long-term consequences are difficult to predict at present.</h:DescriptionOfSignificantEventsOccurringAfterEndOfReportingPeriod>
  <h:DescriptionOfExpectedDevelopment contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">The process that Staples Danmark initiated almost six years ago will continue in 2020. We have now carried out a successful optimisation of our business model, processes, organisation and costs, and in 2020, we will enter into a new phase focusing on future growth and maintaining our earnings level.
A detailed development and growth plan has been drawn up for the years up until 2021 based on the current and expected competitive situation, potential for expansion and market conditions.
Among others, visible growth among our global customers, both through the development of existing and new customers, increased focus on SMB/mid market and continued growth and development of our newly established distribution business (EMO) will contribute to an improved market situation.
Adjusting the organisation and focusing on costs will still make up our priorities just as will the development of the product range and the adding of new product categories.</h:DescriptionOfExpectedDevelopment>

  <e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfImpairmentLossesAndDepreciation contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">The item comprises amortisation/depreciation of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
The cost net of the expected residual value for completed development projects and acquired IP rights is amortised over the expected useful life. Acquired IP rights include software rights.
The basis of amortisation, which is calculated as cost less any residual value, is amortised on a straight line basis over the expected useful life. The expected useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Software
5 years






Depreciation is based on the residual value of the asset and is reduced by impairment losses, if any. The depreciation period and the residual value are determined at the acquisition date and are reassessed annually. Where the residual value exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no further depreciation charges are recognised.
In the case of changes in the depreciation period or the residual value, the effect on the depreciation charges is recognised prospectively as a change in accounting estimates.
The basis of depreciation, which is calculated as cost less any residual value, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the expected useful life. The expected useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment
3-10 years

The portion of the tax for the year that relates to the profit/loss for the year is recognised in the income statement, whereas the portion that relates to transactions taken to equity is recognised in equity.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxExpenses>
  <e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfIntangibleAssets contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Other intangible assets include other acquired intangible rights, including software rights.
Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Gains and losses on the sale of intangible assets are recognised in the income statement under 'Other operating income' or ‘Other operating expenses', respectively. Gains and losses are calculated by reference to the difference between the selling price less selling expenses and the carrying amount at the time of sale.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfIntangibleAssets>
  <e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the acquisition price and costs directly related to the acquisition until the time at which the asset is ready for use.
Gains or losses are calculated as the difference between the selling price less selling costs and the carrying amount at the date of disposal. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as other operating income or other operating expenses.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment>

  <e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfAmortisationOfNoncurrentAssets contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are subject to an annual test for evidence of impairment other than the decrease in value reflected by depreciation or amortisation. Impairment tests are conducted in respect of individual assets or groups of assets generating separate cash flows when there is indications of impairment. The assets are written down to the higher of the value in use and net realisable value (recoverable amount) of the asset or group of assets if this is lower than the carrying amount.
Impairment tests are conducted on assets or groups of assets when there is evidence of impairment. The carrying amount of impaired assets is reduced to the higher of the net selling price and the value in use (recoverable amount). 
The recoverable amount is the higher of the net selling price of an asset and its value in use. The value in use is calculated as the present value of the expected net cash flows from the use of the asset or the group of assets and the expected net cash flows from the disposal of the asset or the group of assets after the end of the useful life.
Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed when the reason for recognition no longer exists. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfAmortisationOfNoncurrentAssets>
  <e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfReceivables contextRef="c1" xml:lang="en">Receivables are measured at amortised cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal value. An impairment loss is recognised if there is objective evidence that a receivable or a group of receivables is impaired, in which case the carrying amount is reduced to the net realisable value.
The Company has chosen IAS 39 as interpretation for impairment of financial receivables.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfReceivables>

Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax value of assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax is measured according to the tax rules and at the tax rates applicable at the balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax. Deferred tax assets are recognised at the expected value of their utilisation; either as a set-off against tax on future income or as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities in the same legal tax entity. Changes in deferred tax due to changes in the tax rate are recognised in the income statement.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxPayablesAndDeferredTax>
