Corporate Governance Statement 2023
Internal control and audit
Internal control is essential in ensuring the company’s operating capability, a critical component in risk
management, and it enables creating and maintaining the company’s value. The purpose of internal
control is to protect the company’s and its business units’ resources from misuse, ensure the
appropriate authorisation of business transactions, support management of IT systems, and ensure the
reliability of financial reporting. Internal control is a process which enables minimising the probability of
mistakes related to accounting.
The company does not have a separate internal audit function. The company’s management is
responsible for the internal control system. The Board of Directors may use external experts to conduct
separate evaluations of the control environment or control functions. The audit plan of the company’s
external auditor defined by the company may account for the fact that the company does not have a
separate function for organising the internal audit.
The basis of financial control is formed by the controls included in operational processes, which enable
fast detections of deviations and rapid reactions to them. An important part of the financial control is
monthly reporting by the management. The metrics followed in the monthly reporting have been set so
that they support the company in reaching its targets and highlight possible issues that require
controlling actions. Due to the nature of the business, budgeting in its traditional form is not used by the
company.
