Internal Audit

The Board of Directors decides on the operating model for Anora’s internal audit and the Charter of the internal audit. Upon the decision of the Board, Anora’s internal auditing is outsourced to an external service provider, which reports on its findings to the Audit Committee. The objective of the internal auditing is to monitor and evaluate the operation of processes as well as the appropriateness and effectiveness of the risk management, control, management and governance and the financial reporting of the company in an independent manner. The auditing is based on risk analyses, as well as risk management and control discussions conducted with the Group’s and business areas’ management. Meetings with the Auditor are arranged on a regular basis in order to ensure sufficient audit coverage and to eliminate overlapping operations. The audit areas and audit plan of the internal audit are decided annually by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board.
