Internal auditing
Pöyry's internal auditing objectives are
- to ensure that the financial reporting of each business unit gives a true and fair view of the result, financial position and risks of the business unit
- to minimise the risk of unexpected incidents
- to ensure compliance with the Operating Guidelines of Pöyry
- to evaluate the efficiency of the business unit's organisation, operations and working methods
- to assess whether actions and development programmes are in compliance with the approved business plan and strategy
- to co-operate with external auditing in order to achieve the most cost-effective audit coverage
The business groups of Pöyry each have a business group controller who supervises the business area and business unit controllers in the respective business group. The business group controllers perform the internal audit of the business units belonging to that business group. The CFO of Pöyry co‑ordinates and supervises the performance of the business group controllers and participates in internal audits to the extent necessary or beneficial.
An internal audit shall be conducted in each business unit at least once a year. The internal audit is performed on the basis of a standard audit programme. An audit report is prepared including an executive summary of essential findings, comments on issues to be followed up and recommended actions, as well as detailed remarks on those issues where the procedures or other findings deviate from Pöyry's policies or best practices.
Pöyry's objective is to ensure efficient controlling procedures by a close co-operation between internal and external auditing and the Audit Committee of the Board. |
