INTERNAL AUDIT AND INTERNAL CONTROL
The Internal Audit Department prepares an annual audit plan using a risk assessment approach. Risk factors
are analysed and revised every year to ensure that this plan properly covers the risks to which the Group is
exposed. The Internal Audit Manager attends the meetings of the Risk Management and Internal Control
Committee, reporting on matters identified by the audit work and the improvements agreed. The status of the
audit plan is also reported, along with any proposals to amend the original audit plan and the implementation
status of previously-agreed improvement work.
The Prysmian Group adopts a series of administrative and accounting procedures to ensure the reliability of
the system of internal controls over financial disclosures. Prysmian uses policies, procedures and operating
instructions to ensure an effective flow of information from affiliates.
