The Company’s Internal Control System aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, eligibility for financial reporting, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and established management policies. In day- to-day activities, the Internal Control System is intended to safeguard the Company’s assets and ensure the accuracy of Company data, which is a key source of information used in decision-making.

The Company’s management aims to implement the internal control system in every operational activity through all lines of work. Implementation includes creating and updating policies and procedures that become the responsibility of the Group Corporate Policy Division (GCP).

The Company’s policies and procedures are grouped into five (5) categories, namely financial, operational, production and program, sales and marketing, and human resources, where the formalization of policy and procedure through study and obtain the approval up to the level of authorization which has been established.

The internal control system is also implemented through several steps within the Company.

The Board of Directors periodically evaluates the effectiveness of internal controls through the Internal Audit Unit and the External Auditor.

Upon the project’s full implementation, each Business Unit is expected to assist the Group in anticipating risks, especially those that can have a material impact on the Company.
