External auditing verifies that the financial statements give correct and sufficient information on the company’s financial performance and financial position during the financial period. The auditor submits an auditing report required by law to the company’s shareholders together with the company’s annual financial statements. Audits during the financial period are reported to the Board of Directors.

The auditor and the Board of Directors meet at least once a year. The auditor is elected by the General Meeting of shareholders. The auditor’s term of office covers the financial period during which he or she is elected and ends at the closing of the next ordinary General Meeting of shareholders following his or her election.

The ordinary General Meeting of shareholders held on 26 April 2022 elected auditing firm Tilintarkastus Inkeröinen & Himanen Oy as the company’s auditor, with Juho Himanen, Authorized Public Accountant, as the principal auditor.
