1. The area-specific revenues and costs follow the definitions of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and Universities Denmark Statistics, and are cal-culated differently from the financial accounts that appear later in the annual report. The difference in revenue is due to the accounting handling of donation liabilities, where donations greater than DKK 1 million are not included in the area-specific accounts, as they are instead recognised in the balance sheet (cf. Agency for Public Finance and Management - Ministry of Finance accounting rules on donations).

The Aalborg University Board has appointed Deloitte as institutio-nal auditors of Aalborg University pursuant to Section 28(3) of the Danish University Act. Rigsrevisionen - the National Audit Office of Denmark – is responsible for the overall audit under the Danish Audi-tor General Act.
To the Aalborg University Board
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Aalborg University for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020, which comprise the income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and supplementary financial information. The fi-nancial statements are prepared in accordance with Ministerial Order no. 1021 of 24 June 2020 on funding and auditing etc. at universities as well as the directions and instructions on financial statements is-sued by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, and including the Danish Agency for Institutions and Educational Grants, hereinafter referred to as state accounting rules.We believe that the financial statements are accurate in all material respects, i.e. prepared in accordance with the state accounting rules.
Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark as well as the public auditing standards as the audit is based on the provisions of the Danish Agency for Higher Education’s Ministerial Or-der no. 1021 of 24 June 2020 on funding and auditing etc. at univer-sities and agreement on internal audits at universities entered into between the Minister of Higher Education and Science and the Audi-tor General in pursuance of Section 9 of the Danish Auditor General Act. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor ’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of this auditor’s report. We are indepen-dent of Aalborg University in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Ac-countants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these rules and requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to pro-
vide a basis for our opinion.
Management's responsibilities for the financial statementsManagement is responsible for the preparation of financial state-ments that are accurate in all material respects, i.e. prepared in accordance with the state accounting rules, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the pre-paration of financial statements that are free from material misstate-ment, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing Aalborg University ’s ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and for using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the fi-nancial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate Aalborg University or to cease operations, or has no realistic alter-native but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor ’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assu-rance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark as well as the public auditing standards, cf. the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science’s Ministerial Order no. 1021 of 24 June 2020 on funding and auditing etc. at universities will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 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 decisi-ons of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs and the additional require-ments applicable in Denmark as well as the public auditing standards pursuant to the Ministerial Order no 1021 of 24 June 2020 on funding and auditing etc. at universities issued by the Danish Ministry of Hig-her Education and Science, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Moreover we:
• Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the finan-cial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 2 0 2 0A A U
A A L B O R G U N I V E R S I T Y
1 0
audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evi-dence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resul-ting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepre-sentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the cir-cumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Aalborg University ’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the go-ing concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial state-ments and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a ma-terial uncertainty exists related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt on Aalborg University ’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor ’s report to the re-lated disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor ’s re-port. However, future events or conditions may cause Aalborg Uni-versity to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Statement on the management reportThe management report also includes the target reporting and finan-cial highlights, hereinafter referred to as the management report. Management is responsible for the management report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the manage-ment report, and we do not express any form of assurance conclu-sion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our respon-sibility is to read the management report and, in doing so, consider whether the management report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or other-wise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the manage-ment report provides the information required under the state ac-counting rules.
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the manage-ment report is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the state accounting rules. We did not identify any material misstatement of the management report.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGUL ATORY REQUIREMENTS
Statement on compliance audit and performance auditManagement is responsible for ensuring that the transactions cove-red by the financial statements are in accordance with the appro-priations granted, laws and other regulations and with agreements concluded and usual practice, and that due account has been taken of financial considerations in the management of the funds and ope-rations covered by the financial statements. Management is also re-sponsible for setting up systems and processes supporting economy, productivity and efficiency.
As part of our audit of the financial statements, it is our responsibility to perform compliance audit as well as performance audit of selected subject matters in accordance with the public auditing standards. In our compliance audit, we test the selected subject matters to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the examined transactions co-vered by the financial statements comply with the appropriations, laws and other regulations, agreements concluded and usual practice. In our performance audit, we make an assessment to obtain reasona-ble assurance about whether the systems, processes or transactions examined support the exercise of sound financial management in the administration of the funds and activities covered by the financial statements.
If, based on the procedures performed, we conclude that material critical comments should be made, we are required to report this in this statement.
We have no significant critical comments to report in this connection.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Mini-sterial Order on the Funding and Audit etc. of Universities, No. 1021 of 24 June 2020, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science. With the exceptions stated in the Ministerial Order, the regulations correspond to the regulations in the ministerial order on the Danish state’s financial statements and the guidelines of the Agency for Public Finance and Management - Ministry of Finance stipulated in Finansmi-nisteriets Økonomisk Administrative Vejledning (ØAV) [the Ministry of Finance’s Financial Administrative Guidelines], including the special regulations applying to self-governing institutions.
The accounting policies are unchanged compared to last year.
GENER AL COMMENTS ON RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Assets are recognised in the balance sheet if it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the University, and the value of the as-sets can be measured reliably.
Only intangible and tangible assets with an independent value amounting to DKK 100,000 or above are capitalised, apart from tan-gible assets governed by the regulations regarding bunching (cf. Fi-nansministerietsØkonomisk Administrative Vejledning [the Ministry of Finance’s Financial Administrative Guidelines].
Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet if it is likely that future economic benefits will flow from the University, and the value of the liabilities can be measured reliably.
On initial recognition, assets and liabilities are measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are re-measured as described for each item below.
For recognition and measurement, all probable economic benefits and liabilities appearing before the presentation of the annual finan-cial statements and proving or disproving matters existing on the ba-lance sheet date are taken into account.
CONVERSION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
Receivables, liabilities and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that have not been settled on the balance sheet date are converted at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.
PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNTS
Ordinary operating incomeGovernment fundingGovernment funding is recognised in the accounting period concer-ned. Government funding concerning other financial years is recorded on an accrual basis.
Grant-financed itemsRevenue from cooperation agreements involving funding for teaching and research activities is recognised at the same rate as costs are consumed. Funds have been set aside to meet any losses caused by loss-making projects.
Sale of goods and servicesThe sale of goods and services is recognised as income at the time of invoicing.
Ordinary operating costsOrdinary operating costs cover consumption costs, staff costs, other primary operating costs as well as depreciation and amortisation.
Costs are recognised at the same rate as they are consumed.
Financial itemsFinancial incomeFinancial income includes interest income and realised and unrea-lised capital gains on securities etc.
Financial costsFinancial costs include interest costs and other financial costs, rea-lised and unrealised capital losses on securities etc.
TaxationThe University is not subject to taxation.

BAL ANCE SHEETS
Intangible assetsIntangible assets are measured as the direct costs of the procurement of the assets in question, after deduction of accumu-lated depreciation and amortisation.
IT and software licensesThe University has acquired a number of IT and software licenses, which are used in daily operations. These licenses are recognised at cost price.
Internally generated patents and inventionsComprehensive research is an integral part of the University's activi-ties. As a general rule, this research is not commercial; the value of the research is not assessed, nor is it capitalised.
Only inventions and patents which are clearly defined and identified, i.e. whose technical utilisation and potential market have been iden-tified and where an agreement with an external business partner is expected to be established, will be recognised as assets in the ba-lance sheet.
Inventions and patents are measured at the direct costs accrued from assessment, registration and commercialisation of the inventions and from registration of the patents.
Continuous assessment of their exploitation prospects is carried out. This forms a basis for the establishment of the value of the rights and the financial lifespan. In case of a reduction in value, the necessary depreciation will be made in the profit and loss account.
Amortisation of intangible assetsThe basis of amortisation is distributed linearly over the expected useful lives of the assets, which are:
IT and software licenses 3 years
Internally generated patents/inventions 20 years
Tangible assetsAs a rule, tangible assets are measured at cost price, deducting ac-cumulated depreciation.
Cost price includes purchase price and costs directly linked to the acquisition, as well as installation costs. Assets at a cost price below DKK 100,000 are recognised as costs in the year of purchase. Depre-ciations are made linearly over the expected useful lives of the assets:
Installations 20 years
Leasehold improvements 10 years
Test equipment and machinery 5-8 years
Operating equipment 5-8 years
Transport equipment 5-8 years
Fixtures and equipment 3 years
IT equipment 3 years
Test equipment under construction is not depreciated. Once the con-struction of the test equipment has been completed and the equip-ment is ready for use, depreciation will be made during a 5-to-8-year period.
Installations and leasehold improvementsIn the Danish Buildings and Property Agency ’s property, installations in the opening balance are stated as 10% of replacement costs sti-pulated in the Danish Property Agency ’s rent agreement from 2001.
Installations and leasehold improvements undertaken after 1 January 2005 are recognised at cost price.
For other tenancies, installations and leasehold improvements made at the time of moving into external tenancies are recognised as lea-sehold improvements.
Fixed assets financed in full or in part by donation Aalborg University regularly receives fixed assets as grants or donati-ons from business enterprises, foundations or private individuals. All fixed assets are included in the assets register and are depreciated according to normal practice. The share which is financed by donati-ons is included under liabilities as a donation liability. This is termed Counter item to capitalised donations. The donation liabilities will be amortised as fixed assets are depreciated.
Therefore, the net profit and loss account will not be affected by de-preciation relating to the share of the fixed assets acquired by dona-tion. Only donations exceeding DKK 1 million are included in the ba-
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 2 0 2 0A A U

A A L B O R G U N I V E R S I T Y

lance sheet. Donations below DKK 1 million are recognised as income directly under assets in the profit and loss account.
Financial fixed assets Equity holdings Equity holdings are measured at cost price. Equity holdings are re-duced to their recoverable amount if this amount is lower than the carrying amount.
Repurchase transactions are recognised in the balance sheet in ac-cordance with the net principle.
Debt notesState debt notes for the transfer of donated buildings, etc. to the state rent scheme.
Current assets Receivables Receivables are measured at net realisable value, usually correspon-ding to nominal value after deducting depreciation to meet any ex-pected losses calculated on the basis of an individual assessment of debtors.
Receivables from goods and services Receivables from the sale of goods and services etc. include rent, open university, conferences, courses and other commissioned work.
Receivables from grant-financed activities The University undertakes a large number of research activities which are financed in full or in part by external grants.
If a grant has not been received – or the payment on account is smaller than the costs incurred – the costs incurred are stated at cost price as receivables from grant-financed activities; cost price includes both direct and indirect costs.
For projects with partial external funding, only receivables for the share of the individual project which is externally financed is stated, whereas the share paid by the University is taken to the profit and loss account.
Securities Securities recognised under current assets include bonds and shares
measured at fair value on the balance sheet date. Any value adjust-ments are taken to the profit and loss account.
Equity ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the University, as a result of an event taking place before or on the balance sheet date, has a legal or con-structive obligation, and it is probable that economic benefits will flow out of the University to meet such obligation.
LiabilitiesLiabilities other than provisions are measured at amortised cost, which essentially corresponds to nominal value.
Prepaid grants regarding externally grant-financed projects The University undertakes a large number of research activities which are financed in full or in part by external grants.
If a grant has been received but expenses have not yet been incurred wholly, the difference between the grant and the expenses incurred is recognised as prepaid funding.
Counter item to capitalised donations For assets acquired in full or in part by donation, a donation liability is included under liabilities, corresponding to the share of the fixed as-set deriving from the donation. The donation liability is stated under short-term liabilities (Counter item to capitalised donations, cf. note 22). This entry is broken up and recognised as income in the profit and loss account under Depreciation and amortisation as the fixed assets are depreciated. Therefore, the net profit and loss account will not be affected by depreciation relating to the share of the fixed assets acquired by donation.
Only donation liabilities exceeding DKK 1 million are included in the balance sheet. Donation liabilities below DKK 1 million are recognised as income directly under assets in the profit and loss account.
