Periodic monitoring of the system The risk management and internal control systems are monitored by: ◆ the monitoring of major incidents and incidents due to unacceptable risks; ◆ the Corporate Audit and Internal Control Division; ◆ external structures (see below). Major incidents Major incidents or incidents linked to unacceptable risks are identified by the group’s entities and a statement of reported incidents is produced. Internal audit It aims to provide the Group, in complete independence, with reasonable assurance over the degree of control over its operations, provide advice on improvements and contribute to creating added value. Certified by IFACI since 2008, the Corporate Audit and Internal Control Division with the support of dedicated and independent teams, assesses the operation of the risk management and internal control systems. Through its recommendations, it helps improve safety and optimise the overall performance of the Group’s entities. It may be mandated on the proposal of the Ethics Personal Data Department to examine in greater depth certain items resulting from the investigations. The annual audit program is reviewed with the Ethics Personal Data Department and is presented to the Executive Committee and examined by the Audit and Risks Committee. External control structures In the first instance, this relates to the Statutory Auditors appointed by the Annual General Meeting of 11 May 2021: Ernst & Young Audit and Deloitte & Associés. Moreover, Aéroports de Paris is subject to specific controls due to it being a majority State-owned company. The Court of Auditors, the Economic Affairs Committee of the National Assembly and the Senate, the General Economic and Financial Control, the General Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development, in particular, are therefore responsible for overseeing the finance, management and internal control sectors (section 15 of the 2021 Universal Registration Document). The Company is also subject to controls of an operational nature, which are carried out by the French Civil Aviation Authority and by the European Commission. Moreover, to obtain or maintain certification of their management systems, the various Group entities that are affected undergo annual external assessment audits, conducted by independent accredited organisations. These audits may lead to requests for improvement. Aéroports de Paris is also subject to assessments by credit and non-financial rating agencies. Limitations The risk management and internal control system can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance regarding the overall control of the Group’s risks and objectives. Indeed, these systems have inherent limits, particularly regarding uncertainties affecting the environment and possible failings due to mistakes or human error.
