TeliaSonera’s Annual Report 2013
TeliaSonera’s Annual Report, Sustainability Report and Company Presentation 2013, respectively, are now available at TeliaSonera.com. The online reports can also be downloaded as printer friendly pdf-files.
The Auditors’ Report deviates from the standard format because the auditors’ state that they are unable to recommend whether the former CEO Lars Nyberg should, or should not, be discharged from liability for the financial year.
Statement by the Chair of TeliaSonera after Auditors’ Report
The Board makes the following statement;
“We have noted the auditors’ statement in the audit report regarding discharge of liability. This statement is a recommendation from the auditors to the shareholders and the recommendation in itself is not something that the Board should comment on.The auditors’ statement highlights some of the risks TeliaSonera faces and which are described inter alia in Note C34 in the Annual Report 2013. Among the risks listed are potential findings and conclusions from the review of certain of TeliaSonera’s transactions and agreements in Eurasia which is performed by the international law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. The law firm has reported its findings to the management and the board continuously during the course of its work and the review is expected to be finalized during March 2014. Some of the findings have already led to actions taken and TeliaSonera also continues its full cooperation with the Swedish prosecutor.”
