3.6.3.3 The main provisions of the Audit and Risk Committee’s rules of procedure are set out in this chapter 3 of the universal registration document. FUNCTIONING The operation of the Audit and Risk Committee complies with the principles applicable to the Supervisory Board committees (see §3.6.1). The Audit and Risk Committee meets as many times as necessary and usually six times per financial year, including once before the approval of the annual financial statements by the Executive Management and once before the review of the half‑yearly financial statements by the Supervisory Board.

On 24March 2010, the Supervisory Board adopted rules of procedure which specify the rules governing the composition, powers and operating procedures of the Audit and Risk Committee. These rules of procedure are regularly reviewed to adapt to legal and regulatory changes and to take into account the recommendations of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and revisions to the Afep‑Medef Code. The full text of the Audit and Risk Committee rules of procedure is made available at each update at https://finance.hermes.com/en/ governing‑bodies‑rules‑procedure‑articles‑association/.
