Internal Audit

The Group's internal audit assesses and ensures the sufficiency and effectiveness of the Group's internal control. It also assesses the efficiency of different business processes, sufficiency of risk management and compliance with internal guidelines. Internal audit services are mainly acquired from an external and independent service supplier selected by the Board of Directors of Basware Corporation, supplemented by the company's in-house resources as applicable.

The Group's internal audit is independent of Basware's business units and other units. It reports to the Group's Board of Directors and, in an administrative sense, to the CEO. The CFO coordinates internal audit activities. The work description, authority and responsibilities of the Group internal audit are specified in the Internal Audit Charter. The Board of Directors approves the Internal Audit Charter and the annual risk-based audit plan.
