Functions of the Internal Audit Division

The Internal Audit Division, which reports directly to the president and CEO, audits the operations and accounts of ANA HOLDINGS INC. and group companies and conducts evaluations from an independent, objective perspective that correspond to the standards in the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act on the reporting system for the internal control over financial reporting. Audits are comprised of regular audits, which are conducted in accordance with annual audit plans, and intermit-tent audits conducted at the discretion of management. Regular audits are impartially and objectively conducted based on risk analyses of each division and group companies. The results of audits are reported to the president and CEO every month and to the Audit & Supervisory Board members when needed.
