In addition to reporting at regular board meetings, it also reports to the chairman monthly or when necessary. Audit work is mainly carried out according to the annual audit plan approved by the Board of Directors, which is formulated based on the identified risks. Special audits or reviews are also carried out as needed. The above general audits and project execution provide management with information on the operation status of internal control functions, and provide management with timely information on existing or potential deficiencies. Internal audit reviews the self-inspections performed by each unit, including checking whether the operation is carried out and reviewing the documents to ensure the quality of execution. The results of the self-inspections are summarized and reported to the board of directors.
The company’s internal audit unit is equipped with a full-time auditor. The appointment and removal of internal auditors must be reported to the company’s board of directors. The evaluation is carried out once a year, and the remuneration and evaluation are reported to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
