Internal controls relating to the financial reporting process (Compliance Model under Italian Law 262/2005)
The Internal Audit department has developed the Compliance Model under Italian Law 262/2005 to analyze the significant line items in the Fincantieri consolidated financial statements and to identify the business processes involved in the preparation of financial reports. This Model also defines the specific components of the financial reporting process and requires a system of administrative and accounting procedures, supported and supplemented by “Risk and Control Matrices” where appropriate; lastly, the Model defines the procedures and frequency of financial reporting risk assessment in order to identify the most relevant processes for financial reporting purposes.
Fincantieri has adopted the “CoSO - Internal Control Integrated Framework” and “COBIT - Control Objectives for Information and related Technology” frameworks as the main companywide assessment tools of the system of internal controls associated with financial reporting. The Internal Audit department updates the Compliance Model on an annual basis and whenever such need arise.
