In the company’s internal control evaluation process, the Audit Committee has actively fulfilled its organizational, leadership, and oversight responsibilities. In accordance with the company’s criteria for identifying internal control deficiencies, the Committee reviewed and validated the summary table of internal control deficiency identifications prepared by the Internal Control Evaluation Team, examined the Company’s 2015 Internal Control Evaluation Report, and engaged Dahuа Certified Public Accountants to conduct an internal control audit. The audit concluded that the current state of the Company’s internal control system complies with applicable requirements, is aligned with the Company’s actual operations, and has been effectively implemented; moreover, the Company’s 2015 Internal Control Evaluation Report accurately reflects these findings.
During the Company’s 2015 audit, the Audit Committee maintained active communication and effective coordination with the auditing firm, Dahuа Certified Public Accountants. Prior to the auditors’ on-site engagement, the Committee discussed and reached consensus with the engagement partner of the auditing firm on matters such as the audit plan, schedule, and key issues to be addressed during the audit. Throughout the audit process, the Committee kept abreast of progress and repeatedly urged the auditing firm to carry out the audit in a timely manner while maintaining high quality and ensuring that all deliverables met the required standards. Upon completion of the audit, the Committee conducted a thorough review of the Company’s annual financial statements and annual report, concluding that the financial statements are comprehensive and accurate, and that the financial reports and other information disclosed by the Company are objective, truthful, and faithfully reflect the Company’s annual financial condition.
The Audit Committee is of the view that, in providing audit services for the Company for the year 2015, Dahua Certified Public Accountants has adhered to the professional standards of independence, objectivity, and impartiality; conducted the audit in strict accordance with the new accounting standards; developed a rigorous and well-structured audit plan; ensured adequate staffing; proactively communicated with the Audit Committee and the independent directors; exercised due diligence and responsibility; and thereby successfully completed the Company’s 2015 audit engagement. The Committee therefore proposes that the Company re-engage Dahua Certified Public Accountants as its auditor for the year 2016.
