HOME/Corporate Governance/Internal Audit

The Company’s Internal Audit Department reports directly to the Board of Directors. Internal auditors perform their duties with independence, objectivity, and impartiality, ensuring that all audit tasks are executed with professionalism and integrity.

The appointment, removal, performance evaluation, and compensation of internal auditors are handled in accordance with the Company’s personnel regulations. The appointment and removal of the head of internal audit must be approved by the audit committee and a resolution of the board of directors must be submitted.

The Company formulates its annual audit plan based on risk assessments. The plan is implemented after being approved by the Board of Directors, and special audits may be conducted when necessary. The head of internal audit submits monthly audit reports to the independent directors and reports to the Board.

Before the end of each fiscal year, each department evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of the internal control system within its scope of responsibility and prepares an assessment report. These reports are reviewed by the Internal Audit Department, which consolidates the results, identifies existing or potential deficiencies, and tracks improvement progress. The consolidated assessment serves as the primary basis for evaluating the overall effectiveness of the Company’s internal control system and for issuing the internal control system statement.
