Appointment of the Statutory Auditors We were appointed Statutory Auditors for the SoLocal Group by the General Shareholders’ Meeting of 19 October 2016 for the BEAS partnership, an entity of the Deloitte network, and for the Auditex partnership, a member of the Ernst & Young Global Limited network. As at 31 December 2017, BEAS and Auditex were in the second year of their mission without interruption. Deloitte & Associés and Ernst & Young Audit have acted as Statutory Auditors for the SoLocal Group previously, from 2003 to 2015 and from 2004 to 2015 respectively, i.e. for 12 years for these two partnerships, since the Company’s shares were listed for trading on a regulated market. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND OF THE PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN TERMS OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS It is the responsibility of management to prepare annual financial statements that present a true and fair view of the Company in accordance with French accounting rules and principles, and to set up the internal control that it deems necessary for the preparation of annual financial statements that do not contain any material misstatements, whether these originate from fraud or are the result of errors. When preparing annual financial statements, it is the duty of management to assess the ability of the Company to continue operations and to present in these financial statements, if need be, the necessary going concern information and apply the going concern accounting policy, unless it is intended to wind up the Company or cease trading. It is the duty of the Audit Committee to monitor the process of compiling financial information and to monitor effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems, and, where relevant, of the internal audit system in terms of the procedures for compiling and processing accounting and financial information. Approval of the annual financial statements is the responsibility of the Board of Directors. INFORMATION RESULTING FROM OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE STATUTORY AUDITORS CONCERNING THE AUDIT OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Audit objective and approach It is our responsibility to prepare a report on the annual financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual financial statements overall do not contain any material misstatements. Reasonable assurance equates to a high level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with the standards of professional practice will always detect any material misstatement. Misstatements may originate from fraud or be the result of errors and are considered as material if there is a reasonable expectation that they could, taken individually or cumulatively, have an impact on economic decisions that users of the financial statements will take based on the latter. As specified by Article L. 823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code, our mission to audit the annual financial statements does not include guaranteeing the viability or quality of the management of your Company.
