The external and internal audit systems are instrumental in this regard. External Audit The Council has appointed BDO Limited as the external auditor, to conduct an audit of its financial statements. The external audit plays an important role in reviewing the financial statements with consideration of internal control relevant to the preparation of the financial statements of HKPC. Before an audit commences, the external auditor discusses the nature and scope of the audit with the Audit Committee, if necessary, together with any matters the external auditor may wish to discuss in the absence of management. Any management letter from the external auditor and HKPC management’s response will be reviewed by the Audit Committee. Internal Audit and Risk Management The Council’s Compliance and Internal Audit Office (“CIA”) is directed by the Audit Committee of the Council, to assist the management team with the Council’s risk management function. CIA proactively advises operation teams to identify any area of risk in HKPC operations, and proposes appropriate internal control measures in line with the mandates for corporate governance. CIA also formulates and executes an overall audit policy and strategy for the Council to safeguard its assets, ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, promote operational efficiency and effectiveness, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of its records. The Office reports directly to the Audit Committee. At every Audit Committee meeting, the Office reports to the Committee its findings on the auditing of control sufficiency and the compliance situation for different HKPC operations. In the year under review, CIA reported the audit results of the operations spanning various aspects of HKPC. The annual audit job plan was reviewed and agreed by the Audit Committee in advance.
