Review report
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim report for Swedbank AB (publ) for the period 1 January - 30 June 2017. The Board of
Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with
IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities Companies. Our responsibility is to express a
conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 Review of
Interim Financial Information performed by the companys auditors. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily with
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review
is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing
practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us
aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review
does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report for the Group is
not, in all material aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and Securities
Companies and as regards the parent company in accordance the Annual Accounts Act for Credit Institutions and
Securities Companies.
