Auditing

The Annual General Meeting, held on 23 March 2010, elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, Authorised Public Accountants, as auditors of the Company, with Heikki Lassila, Authorised Public Accountant, as the principal auditor.

The auditors and the President and CEO agree an audit plan annually that takes account of the fact that Suominen does not have an internal audit organisation of its own. Internal audit findings are reported to the President and CEO and the relevant management concerned.

The fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers for the statutory auditing of the Group companies totalled EUR 90 thousand in 2009. The fees paid to the auditing company and companies belonging to the same group for non-audit services totalled EUR 17 thousand.
