To safeguard the interests of shareholders and the general public, an independent auditor is appointed at the Annual General Meeting following a recommendation from the Supervisory Board. Before making its recommendation, the Supervisory Board undertakes a critical evaluation of the auditor’s independence, competence etc.
The auditor submits a written report to the assembled Supervisory Board at a minimum twice a year and also immediately after identifying any issues of which the Supervisory Board should be informed.
