In both the reporting year and the previous year, fees for auditing the financial statements primarily consisted of fees for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the audits of the financial statements of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik Aktiengesellschaft (HHLA) and its domestic subsidiaries, and the review of the interim financial statements. The other certification services primarily encompass the review of the non-financial report pursuant to ISAE 3000 (revised), the review of the compliance management system as well as the review of key financial figures, in particular according to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) and the Combined Heat and Power Act (KWKG). The tax advisory services include training services on reporting obligations in connection with international tax structuring. PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft was appointed as the auditor for the 2020 financial year, as in the previous year.
