To meet the need to monitor and manage risks inherent to the organization and business of Soitec, the Group has set up an internal control and risk management mechanism.
The internal control and risk management mechanism aim is to provide reasonable assurance that risks are under control and that objectives will be met.
In this way, in accordance with the applicable standards and regulations, the mechanism contributes to the management of our activities, the effectiveness of our operations and the efficient use of our resources. The effectiveness of the internal control and risk management mechanism (whether operational, financial or compliance-related) is central to the Group’s organization and its management and control activities.
Controls are carried out, for each identified process, by all of the Group’s departments and employees. Overall management of the mechanism falls within the remit of the Executive Committee and the Finance Department who reports to the Audit and Risks Committee and the Board of Directors on the effectiveness of the mechanism in place.
