Information instruments pertaining to an external audit

The statutory auditors are supervised by the Risk and Audit Committee. The Risk and Audit Committee
(see also Board of Directors, Committees) ensures that it is fully informed on the activities of the external
audit by way of a number of measures:

  • The Risk and Audit Committee meets at least four times per year and Ernst & Young is invited to two meetings. In such meetings the preparation of the audit regarding the annual financial statements as well as the results of such audit are being presented and discussed. Ernst & Young reports in writing on the preparation and results of its quarterly and yearly procedures;

  • The Risk and Audit Committee also verifies the independence of Ernst & Young vis-à-vis the Company and the Management Board;
  • The CFO is the point of entry for Ernst & Young at the Company; he will participate in the meetings with the Risk and Audit Committee and the auditors, if appropriate;

  • The statutory auditors are elected every year by the Shareholders’ Meeting upon proposal of the Board of Directors and on recommendation of the Risk and Audit Committee.
