The Audit Committee reviewed the aforementioned business report, financial statements, and earnings distribution proposal and found no discrepancies or non-compliance.
- Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Internal Control System
The design and operational effectiveness of the internal control system were self-assessed by each department, reviewed by the internal audit unit, and subsequently examined and confirmed as effective by the Audit Committee.
- Amendments to the Internal Control System
Revisions to internal control systems and operating procedures proposed by the respective operating units were reviewed, discussed, and approved by the Audit Committee.
- Evaluation of the Appointment of Certifying Public Accountants
To ensure the independence and suitability of the certifying public accounting firm, the certifying public accountants provided independence declarations and Audit Quality Indicators (AQIs). In accordance with the Certified Public Accountant Act and the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants—specifically the principles of integrity, objectivity, and independence—the Audit Committee established an independence evaluation checklist to assess the accountants’ independence, professionalism, and suitability. The evaluation included an assessment of whether the accountants had related-party relationships, business dealings, or financial interests with the Company. The Audit Committee resolved on this matter at its meeting held on December 30, 2025.
