Suggestion
To ensure effective corporate governance and the accurate presentation of financial statements, the company's independent directors maintain good communication with the head of internal audit and CPAs and attend audit committee meetings. It is recommended that the key points of the communication process and its results be recorded separately to determine the responsibilities of independent directors and the basis for performance evaluation.
With increasing emphasis on environmental and social issues, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) plans to expand its "Corporate Governance Assessment" to build a culture of sustainable values. Starting in 2026, it will transform into an "ESG assessment". The company should continuously understand and keep abreast of the evaluation indicators in order to promote corporate governance mechanisms and improve the company's sustainable development.
Future Improvement Plans
The company will record the results of the communication between the independent directors and the internal audit manager and CPAs, and will continue to understand and monitor the evaluation indicators in order to promote the company's governance mechanism and improve the company's sustainable development.
