Report on the INREV adjustments

Our Opinion

We have audited the accompanying INREV adjustments 2022 of Bouwinvest Dutch Institutional Retail Fund N.V., based in Amsterdam.

In our opinion the INREV adjustments are prepared, in all material respects in accordance with the accounting policies selected and disclosed by the Company, i.e. INREV valuation principles, as set out on page 91 up to and including page 96.

Basis for our opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Our responsibilities for the audit of the INREV adjustments” section of our report.

We are independent of Bouwinvest Dutch Institutional Retail Fund N.V. in accordance with the Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Description of responsibilities for the INREV adjustments

Responsibilities of the Management Board for the INREV adjustments

Management Board is responsible for the preparation of the INREV adjustments in accordance with the accounting policies selected and disclosed by the Company (INREV valuation principles) as set out on page 91 up to and including page 96.

Furthermore, Management Board is responsible for such internal control as Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the INREV adjustments that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the INREV adjustments

Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.

Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not have detected all material errors and fraud.

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 INREV adjustments. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included e.g.:

  • Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the INREV adjustments, whether due to fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining 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.

  • Obtaining 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.

  • Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management Board.

  • Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the INREV adjustments, including the disclosures.

  • Evaluating whether the INREV adjustments represent the underlying transactions and events free from material misstatement.

We communicate with Management Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identified during our audit.
