Monthly audit reports and follow-up reports by the chief internal audit are delivered to the Audit Committee for review by the end of the following month. The chief internal audit attends the Audit Committee and the Board of Director to present audit reports, follow-up reports, annual audit plans, and the result of self-assessments of internal control every quarter, and communicates the annual audit plan with independent directors individually every year.  

Independent directors learn about the company's operating conditions and audit conditions through the Board of Directors, the Audit Committees, and the Auditing Administration Division regularly reports.
