(It shall include material issues concerning the finance and business of the Company, and the means and outcomes of communication)

  • Besides submitting audit and follow-up reports on a monthly basis, the Company's internal audit officer presented audit items, audit findings and follow-up status to Independent Directors during the quarterly Audit Committee meetings.
  • The Independent Directors and audit officer all attended the Board meetings convened by the Company each quarter, and the audit officer presented internal audit items at each Board meeting.
  • After reviewing the third-quarter financial statements and auditing the annual financial reports, CPAs attended the Audit Committee meeting to present the review or audit results, key audit matters, significant subsequent events, and updates on relevant laws and regulations. They also discussed, explained and communicated matters fully with Independent Directors. CPAs also attended the Board of Directors meeting to explain and communicate with Directors.
  • When there were issues to be discussed between the audit officer, CPAs and Independent Directors, they would contact each other directly. The communication channels between them have worked well.
