Article R354-5 of the French Insurance Code

The internal audit function referred to in Article L. 354-1 assesses in particular the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system and the other elements of the system of governance. This function is performed objectively and independently of the operational functions.

The conclusions and recommendations of the internal audit, together with the proposals for action arising from each of them, are communicated to the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board by the Chief Executive Officer or the Management Board. The Chief Executive Officer or the Management Board ensures that these actions are carried out and reports to the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board.
