AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE

It comprises at least three effective members – one representative from the Board of Directors, one from Galvão Participações’ Corporate Board and one from the Group’s Compliance Area.

Under his guidance, the risks to which the Group is subject – including those external to the contracts – are identified, analyzed, quantified and documented, adopting measures that prevent the occurrence of deviations or mitigate their consequences. The Committee’s main duties are:

  • Identifying and monitoring the main strategic risks involved in the company’s activities and monitoring management and operational risks.
  • Ensuring that business is conducted in compliance with current legislation and in accordance with internal policies and procedures.
  • Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and handling of information and/or complaints sent by employees or third parties.
  • Discussing with the Internal Audit team the effectiveness of internal controls and processes.
  • Monitoring the accounting closing process and the preparation of the Financial Statements, as well as analyzing relevant information to be disclosed to the market.
  • Monitoring the activities of the internal auditors, in addition to ensuring the performance, independence and quality of the work performed by the independent auditors.

RISK MANAGEMENT

As part of the governance strategies, we have mapped and monitored the various risks that may impact our operations, our economic and financial results and our institutional image. As a result, we have developed actions to minimize the effects of unexpected events on internal processes, project execution, contract development and cash flow.

We keep four risk groups under constant monitoring:

STRATEGIC RISKS

Related to the company's strategy, image, reputation and governance.

MANAGEMENT RISKS

Related to business performance and monitoring.

OPERATING RISKS

Related to processes, the recognition of income and expenses and the safeguarding of assets.

COMPLIANCE

The Compliance team is responsible for ensuring the compliance of internal procedures with the standards and good practices defined by Galvão, as well as ensuring the adequacy and functioning of the control system. The compliance team answers to the Company’s Board of Directors, and is composed of representatives from the various corporate sectors.

The Compliance structure works on mapping risks and supervising compliance with laws, regulations, policies and guidelines. Once deviations or shortcomings are identified, the area assists in the review of existing controls and the establishment of a timetable and corrective measures.

Our governance system entails the separation of executive, advisory, strategic planning and control activities. Our management model has few hierarchical levels, which favors quick decision making and administrative flexibility.

As an inspection body, it promotes the auditing of management and operation processes, in order to ensure compliance with internal policies and procedures. It is also responsible for validating the efficiency and effectiveness of the controls established by the Executive Board for the Compliance area, through the issuance of a report on conformities and nonconformities. The body acts in line with the Audit and Risks Committee. Our governance system entails the separation of executive, advisory, strategic planning and control activities.
