Business Activities of the Company<br />

Corporate Affairs Division<br />

Internal Audit Department<br />

In 207 the Internal Audit Department, which began to operate in the Company in October 2006, outlined<br />

the bases for its further work. At the beginning of the year, the Department prepared an audit risk analysis<br />

and, on the basis thereof, a Strategic Plan of Work of the Internal Audit Department for the period from<br />

<strong>2007</strong>-2009 and an Annual Plan of Work of the Internal Audit Department for <strong>2007</strong>. After these documents<br />

were approved by the Management Board, the Department began to carry out internal auditing activities<br />

in accordance with the Annual Plan of Work of the Internal Audit Department for <strong>2007</strong>.<br />

The objective of internal audits is primarily to ensure the establishment and functioning of the internal<br />

controls system and to assess their effectiveness.<br />

Two internal audits were conducted in <strong>2007</strong>:<br />

1. an audit of the purchasing function for the purpose of performing activities under the Concession<br />

Agreement, and<br />

2. an audit for the purpose of implementing toll collection (toll collection process in the narrower<br />

sense).<br />

With respect to the processes under way in the above-mentioned areas, the Internal Audit Department<br />

provided assurance that internal controls had been established and were functioning, although some<br />

deficiencies had also been found. For the purpose of eliminating these deficiencies and improving<br />

operations in the audited areas, the Department made 40 recommendations and will verify their<br />

implementation in 2008.<br />

The Internal Audit Department also carries out consulting activities, and cooperates with external auditors<br />

and the auditors of the Court of Audit of the Republic of Slovenia.<br />

Purchasing Department<br />

The Purchasing Department was reorganised in <strong>2007</strong> and currently performs the following tasks:<br />

• carries out warehouse operations (warehouse employees now form part of the Purchasing<br />

Department staff),<br />

• conducts public procurements, and<br />

• carries out documentary checks (liquidation of invoices).<br />

In <strong>2007</strong>, two sets of internal rules were prepared and implemented, i.e. the Rules on Warehouse Operations<br />

and the Rules on Service Operations, which regulate the warehouse and service operations unit on the<br />

Company level.<br />

For the purpose of rationalising procedures and simplifying work, public procurement procedures are now<br />

oriented towards the conclusion of long-term contracts, which provide suppliers with greater certainty<br />

and thus the possibility of lower prices.<br />
