On 12 February 2014, the Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed they had continued to meet such requirements throughout 2013 applying all the criteria envisaged by the Code.

  • Salini Impregilo complies with the guidelines of criterion 8.C.3 of the Code, whereby statutory auditors that either directly or on behalf of third parties have an interest in a specific transaction shall inform the other statutory auditors and the chairperson of the Board of Directors promptly and completely about the nature, scope, origin and terms of their interest.
  • In the meetings held during the year, the statutory auditors met the independent auditors who described the scope of their engagement, their responsibilities and independence (in writing) as well as the procedures carried out for Salini Impregilo and the group companies that have engaged them. As part of its duties, the Board of Statutory Auditors worked with the internal audit unit and the risk and control committee.
  • It took part in meetings of the latter committee with the internal audit head. The internal audit head also participated in several Board of Statutory Auditors’ meetings when it reviewed the supervisor’s work.
