The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors attend the shareholders’ meetings and meetings of the Board of Directors. The presence of at least one member of the Board of Statutory Auditors at Board of Directors’ meetings ensures that the Board of Statutory Auditors remains informed of activities conducted by the parent and on the transactions of greatest economic, financial and equity significance performed by the parent and its subsidiaries, particularly transactions in which the directors have an interest.
As indicated above, in accordance with the indications of the Code, the meetings of the Committees set up within the Board of Directors held during the 2021, were attended by the Chairperson of the Board of Statutory Auditors and/or another/other statutory auditor(s) designated by the latter.
In carrying out its supervisory activities on the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system, the Board of Statutory Auditors has established an information flow with the Internal Audit Unit and the Risk Management Department of the Parent.
Furthermore, in its capacity as the "Internal Control and Risk Management Committee" and in coordination with the Parent's Administration, Finance and Control Department, the Board of Statutory Auditors monitored, inter alia, (i) the financial reporting process, (ii) the statutory audit of the Parent's Separate Financial Statements and of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and (iii) the verification of the independence of the Independent Auditors.
In 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors held 18 meetings. The outcome of the supervisory activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors in office during the year, starting from its appointment, is shown in the report to the Shareholders' Meeting prepared pursuant to Article 153 of the Consolidated Law on Finance and annexed to these financial statements.
