Internal controls of financial reporting

Arlandastad Group has a framework for governing and managing risk that is an important part of the operational and strategic management of the company. The framework for governance consists of a code of conduct, policies and guidelines that regulate how the company is governed. The Board and the CEO are ultimately responsible for ensuring that internal controls are developed, communicated to and understood by the employees responsible for the individual control routines and for ensuring that the control routines are monitored, implemented, updated and maintained. Managers at the various levels are responsible for ensuring that internal controls are established within their own areas of activity and that these controls fulfil their purpose. At Group level, the CEO, together with the CFO, is responsible for ensuring that the necessary controls have been developed and followed up. Internal control includes control of the Group and the organisation, routines and follow-up measures. The purpose is to make sure reliable and correct financial reporting occurs to ensure that the company’s and the Group’s financial reporting is prepared in accordance with legislation, applicable accounting standards and other requirements. The internal control system also aims to monitor compliance with the Group’s policies, principles and instructions. In addition, the system ensures that the company’s assets are protected and that the company’s resources are utilised in a cost-effective and appropriate manner.

Sustainable governance

The Board is responsible for the company’s sustainability strategy and for managing the associated risks and opportunities. The Board’s responsibility includes monitoring compliance with the Group’s code of conduct, which is based on principles in the areas of social responsibility, the environment and business ethics. The Board adopts the Group’s policies, including the Code of Conduct, and Group Management defines sustainability goals. The code of conduct is communicated regularly through information to and training of the Group’s employees. The responsibility for implementing the code of conduct and following up compliance lies with the CEO and other members of Group Management.
