At the ordinary March meeting all BoD members are informed of audit results both in writing (Auditor's Report, Group Auditor's Report, Management Letter, Explanatory Notes) and verbally (the lead auditor attends the BoD’s meeting). In February, the main points and results of audits carried out at subsidiaries are also discussed with auditors at the ordinary meetings of the governing body of each subsidiary. The president of the BoD is present at these meetings.
