Internal Audit

GIGABYTE has set up an independent Internal Audit unit that reports directly to the Board of Directors. In addition to reporting at routine meetings of the Board of Directors, it is necessary to submit reports to the Chairman on a monthly basis or when necessary. According to the "Guidelines Governing the Internal Audit System", the Internal Audit should assist the Board and management in inspecting and reviewing any flaws in the internal control system, evaluating the efficiency and efficacy of business operations as well as providing timely advice on improvements. The goal is to ensure the continued operating effectiveness of the internal control system and provide a basis for reviewing and improving the internal control system. Internal Audit tasks are mainly carried out regularly and randomly in accordance with the audit plan approved by the Board. Internal Audit allows the management understanding internal control operations as well as identifying any existing or potential weaknesses in a timely manner. To ensure quality implementation of self-checks executed by each unit, Internal Audit is conducted to verify that self-checks were actually performed and review the quality of documentation. The results from self-checks are compiled into a report which is reviewed by the Chairman and followed by inspection supervisors. An abstract of the report is regularly submitted to the Board of Directors.
