The statutory auditors’ permanent mission, excluding any interference in management, is to verify the values and accounting documents of the person or entity whose accounts they are responsible for certifying and to check that its accounts comply with the rules in force.
They shall also verify that the information given in the management report of the Board of Directors, the Management Board or any other management body, and in the documents sent to shareholders or members concerning the financial position and the annual accounts, is accurate and consistent with the annual accounts. In particular, they attest to the accuracy and fairness of the information relating to the remuneration and benefits of any kind paid to each corporate officer.
They shall verify, where applicable, the fairness and consistency with the consolidated financial statements of the information given in the Group management report.
Where the person or entity is subject to the provisions of article L. 225-102-1, the statutory auditors certify that the statements required by this article are included, as appropriate, in the management report or in the group management report. The information contained in these statements is not subject to the verifications provided for in the two preceding paragraphs.
The statutory auditors shall indicate, in the report attached to the management report or to the group management report as the case may be, whether the legal person or entity is subject to the obligations provided for in Articles L. 232-6, L. 233-28-1 ou L. 233-28-2.
If this is the case, they certify that the income tax report, for the financial year preceding that for which the accounts are certified, has been published and made available in accordance with the provisions of Articles L. 232-6, L. 233-28-1 or L. 233-28-2.
