Presentation of information The financial information contained in this Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). Some chapters in the Risk & Capital management section of this report contain audited information and are part of the Annual Financial Statements. These are: Risk management, Capital management, Liquidity & funding and Securitisation. Audited information in these sections is labelled as ‘audited’ in the respective headings. The Risk & Capital management section also constitutes the Pillar 3 report. The Pillar 3 report is prepared in accordance with the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD).

Contents Annual Report 6 ABN AMRO Annual Report 2012 1 Looking back on 2012, it seems appropriate not only to consider the events that took place last year, but also to take stock of what we’ve achieved in the past four years, during which we completed a challenging task: separating the operations of two banks from their original organisations and merging the two companies to create a new bank. When we started out on our journey in 2009, the world was a very different place to what it is today. Amid a series of changes, we have built a new bank, the ABN AMRO of today.
