Our opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial overviews 2023 of Vesteda Residential Fund FGR, based in Amsterdam.
In our opinion the financial overviews are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies selected and disclosed by the fund, i.e. INREV valuation principles, as set out on page 137 up to and including page 147.
The financial overviews comprise:
-
The consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023.
-
The following statements for 2023: the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and changes in equity.
-

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 financial overviews” section of our report.
We are independent of Vesteda Residential Fund (INREV) 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 financial overviews
Responsibilities of management and the Supervisory Committee for the financial overviews
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial overviews in accordance with the accounting policies selected and disclosed by the fund (INREV valuation principles) as set out on page 137 up to and including page 147.
Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial overviews that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The Supervisory Committee is responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial overviews
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 financial overviews. 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 financial overviews, 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.
-
Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial overviews, including the disclosures.
-
Evaluating whether the financial overviews represent the underlying transactions and events free from material misstatement.
We communicate with management and the Supervisory Committee 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.
