Internal Audit

The audit office of our company is directly subject to the board of directors. The appointment and removal of the head of internal audit is approved by the board of directors.The auditors are all full-time staff,and their appointment, dismissal, assessment, and remuneration are signed by the head of internal audit to the chairman of the board for approval.

The targets of auditing include our company and its subsidiaries while the content of auditing covers all financial operations, business operations and management functions.
The main auditing methods consist of routine auditing according to the annual audit plan. If the situation requires it, auditing of a project may be carried out to reveal potential defects in the internal control system, for which an improvement suggestion and subsequent followup shall be fully executed. The case shall then be reported to independent director in the month following completion of the audit.
We supervise all company units and subsidiaries in formulating and abiding by the internal control system, performing self-assessments, establishing autonomous corporate supervision mechanisms, and providing self-assessment results. This serves as an important reference for the board of directors and general manager to issue an internal control system declaration form.
