REPORT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Audit Committee The roles and functions of the Audit Committee are set out in its terms of reference. The primary duties of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in overseeing and reviewing (i) the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control, risk management system and regulatory compliance of the Group; (ii) the balance, transparency and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and application of financial reporting principle; (iii) the relationship with the external auditors by reference to the work performed by the auditors, their fees and terms of engagement, and make recommendation to the Board on the appointment, re-appointment and removal of external auditors and (iv) the internal audit function. Code provision C.3.7(a) provides that the terms of reference of the audit committee should require it to review arrangements employees of the issuer can use in confidence, to raise concerns about possible improprieties in financial reporting, internal control or other matters. The audit committee should ensure that proper arrangements are in place for fair and independent investigation of these matters and for appropriate follow-up action. The Company had not established any formal arrangement for employees to raise concern about possible improprieties in financial reporting, internal control or other matters. In practice, employees have direct access to our internal auditor via either an anonymous hotline or a mailbox. In addition, they have direct access by email to the executive Directors and the senior management. The Directors regularly receive and review monthly financial reports. The Directors, through the Audit Committee, meet quarterly with the Group’s internal audit function, whose main responsibility is to review the internal control system of the Group. The Directors consider that the lack of such arrangements will not have a material effect on the functions of financial reporting, internal control or other related matters. The internal auditors, the Audit Committee and the Board will discuss the proper actions to deal with any issue reported from any employee about improprieties in financial reporting, internal control and other matters. The Audit Committee held five meetings to review interim and annual financial results and reports in respect of the year ended 31 December 2012 and significant issues on the financial reporting and compliance procedures, internal control and risk management systems, scope of work and appointment of external auditors, connected transactions. The Audit Committee also met the external auditors twice without the presence of the executive Directors. Sun Art Retail Group Limited Annual Report 2012 43
