To: The shareholders of Bouwinvest Dutch Institutional Retail Fund N.V.
We have audited the accompanying financial overviews 2015 of Bouwinvest Dutch Institutional Retail Fund N.V., Amsterdam, in accordance with INREV Valuation Principles as set out on page 66 up to and including page 74, which comprise the statement of financial position as per December 31, 2015, the statements of comprehensive income and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes, comprising a summary of the accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial overviews in accordance with the INREV Valuation Principles, which are selected and disclosed by the Fund, as set out in the notes on page 66 up to and including page 74 of the financial overviews in accordance with INREV Valuation Principles. Furthermore management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial overviews that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial overviews based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. This requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial overviews are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial overviews. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial overviews, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial overviews 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial overviews.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial overviews are prepared, in all material respects in accordance with the accounting policies selected and disclosed by the Fund, as set out in the notes on page 66 up to and including page 74 of the financial overviews in accordance with INREV Valuation Principles.
Basis of accounting
We draw attention to notes on page 66 up to and including page 74 of the financial overviews in accordance with INREV Valuation Principles, which describes the basis of accounting. The accounting policies used are selected and disclosed by the entity. Our opinion is not qualified in this respect.
