In addition to our audit of the annual accounts, we have also performed an audit of the board of directors' and CEO's administration of Maximum Entertainment AB for the year 2024 and of the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss.

We also oppose the Annual General Meeting granting the CEO, also a member of the Board, Christina Seelye discharge from liability (acting as CEO until 30 September 2024 and as a member of the Board until 6 November 2024).
