Audit Committee
To strengthen corporate governance and improve the competency of the Board, GPM established the Audit Committee after the by-election of an independent director at the annual general meeting in 2015. The Republic of China (Taiwan) laws stipulate that the audit committee shall be composed of the entire number of independent directors. The purpose of the committee is to supervise the following:
1. Fairness of the company's financial statements;
2. Assignment (and removal), independence, and performance of the auditors;
3. Effectiveness of the company’s internal control;
4. The company's compliance with relevant laws and regulations;
5. Management and control of the company’s existing and potential risks.
The audit committee shall convene a regular meeting at least every quarter. Please refer to GPM annual reports for documentation on the audit committee meetings and the attendance of each committee member.
