Audit Committee

With the goal of supporting the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee monitors the accounting practices utilized to prepare the financial statements of the organization and its subsidiaries, in addition to evaluating the effectiveness of the independent auditor. The members of this Committee do not maintain a direct relationship with the institution, except for the Chair, who also serves on the Board of Directors.

If situations or even suspicions are identified related to accounting fraud, corruption, money laundering, critical failures in internal control systems, or non-compliance with laws and regulations issued by regulatory authorities, such matters must be reported to the Audit Committee through the Corporate Whistleblowing Channel.

The Channel ensures the confidentiality of information and allows for anonymous reporting. Reports may be submitted through an online form, available 24 hours a day, or by calling 0800 776 4820, with service available Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., excluding weekends and national holidays.
