Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further ​described in the "Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements" section of this auditor’s report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

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 these consolidated financial statements and parent 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 consolidated financial statements and the parent 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 Group's and the Entity’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 consolidated financial statements and the parent 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 Group's and the Entity’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 consolidated financial statements and the parent 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 ​Group and the ​Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.​Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, including the disclosures ​in the notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements represent the underlying transactions and ​​events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements.

No such transactions were conducted during the financial year. 1920000Investments in group enterprisesInvestments in group enterprises are recognised and measured in the parent financial statements according to the equity method. This means that investments are measured at the pro rata share of the enterprises’ equity value plus unamortised goodwill and plus or minus unrealised intra-group profits or losses. Reference is made to the above section on business combinations for more details about the accounting policies applied to acquisitions of investments in group enterprises. ​ ​Group enterprises with negative equity value are measured at DKK 0. Any receivables from these enterprises ​are written down to net realisable value based on a specific assessment. If the Parent has a legal or constructive obligation to cover the liabilities of the relevant enterprise, and it is probable that such obligation will involve a loss, a provision is recognised that is measured at present value of the costs necessary to settle the obligations at ​the balance sheet date. ​ ​Upon distribution of profit or loss, net revaluation of investments in group enterprises is transferred to the reserve for net revaluation according to the equity method in equity. ​ ​Goodwill is the difference between cost of investments and fair value of the pro rata share of assets and liabilities arising from acquisitions. Goodwill is amortised straight-line over its estimated useful life, which is fixed based on the experience gained by Management for each business area. Useful life has been determined based on an assessment of whether the enterprises are strategically acquired enterprises with a strong market position and a long-term earnings profile and whether the amount of goodwill includes intangible resources of a temporary nature that cannot be separated and recognised as separate assets. Useful lives are reassessed annually.

Measurement subsequent to initial ​recognition is effected as described below for each financial statement item. ​ ​Anticipated risks and losses that arise before the time of presentation of the annual report and that confirm ​or invalidate affairs and conditions existing at the balance sheet date are considered at recognition and ​measurement. ​ ​Income is recognised in the income statement when earned, whereas costs are recognised by the amounts ​attributable to this financial year. Consolidated financial statementsThe consolidated financial statements comprise the Parent and the group enterprises (subsidiaries) that are controlled by the Parent. Control is achieved by the Parent, either directly or indirectly, holding more than 50% of the voting rights or in any other way possibly or actually exercising controlling influence. Enterprises in which the Group, directly or indirectly, holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights and exercises significant, but not controlling, influence are regarded as associates.Basis of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries.

The financial statements used for consolidation have been prepared applying the Group’s accounting policies.​​Subsidiaries’ financial statement items are recognised in full in the consolidated financial statements. ​​Investments in subsidiaries are offset at the pro rata share of such subsidiaries’ net assets at the acquisition date,​with net assets having been calculated at fair value.Derivative financial instrumentsOn initial recognition in the balance sheet, derivative financial instruments are measured at cost and subsequently at fair value, which has been calculated as the discounted value of expected future net cash flows by using an approximate risk-free interest rate adjusted for any factors that a potential market participant would attribute value to when acquiring the instrument. Derivative financial instruments are recognised in other receivables or other ​payables. ​ Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments classified as and complying with the requirements for hedging future transactions are recognised directly in the reserve for fair value adjustments of hedging instruments in equity.

Goodwill is amortised straight-line over its estimated useful life, which is fixed based on the experience gained by Management for each business area. Useful life has been determined based on an assessment of whether the enterprises are strategically acquired enterprises with a strong market position and a long-term earnings profile and whether the amount of goodwill includes intangible resources of a temporary nature that cannot be separated and recognised as separate assets.

However, no deferred tax is recognised for amortisation of goodwill disallowed for tax purposes and temporary differences arising at the date of acquisition that do not result from a business combination and that do not have any effect on profit or loss or on taxable income. ​ ​Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carryforwards, are recognised in the balance sheet at ​their estimated realisable value, either as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities or as net tax assets.Tax payable or receivableCurrent tax payable or receivable is recognised in the balance sheet, stated as tax computed on this year's ​taxable income, adjusted for prepaid tax.Joint taxation contributions payable or receivable Current joint taxation contributions payable or receivable are recognised in the balance sheet, stated as tax computed on this year's taxable income, adjusted for prepaid tax.
