Financial Reporting Process
The Group’s subsidiaries report to the Group’s shared reporting system on monthly basis. Reported figures are reviewed by finance departments both in the Group and in the subsidiaries. The outsourced finance and administration of the Group acts as the Group’s finance department and prepares the consolidated financial statement. The outsourced finance and administration further takes care of the book-keeping and reporting of the Finnish parent company. External and internal accounting and reporting of the subsidiaries in Estonia and in India is taken care by the local finance departments. The Group’s finance department is preparing reports
Roles and Responsibilities
The Board of Directors has the final responsibility for the appropriate organisation of internal control relating to the financial reporting. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the financial statements, interim reports and other regulated financial reports. President and CEO, and the directors of subsidiaries are responsible for implementation of internal control relating to financial statement reports. In this task they are supported by the Group’s finance and administration.
The control environment of the Group is based on the corporate principles and values. In operative units the Group-level instructions are observed, including among others guidelines for book-keeping and reporting as well as principles for risk management and internal control relating to financial reporting. President and CEO and the directors of different functions are responsible for arranging adequate control actions, as well as training related to the observance of instructions in their units. Moreover, they shall are responsible for ensuring that bookkeeping and administration in their own areas of responsibility comply with the laws, Group’s operating principles and the instructions and orders given by the Board of Directors at Incap Corporation. The related control actions are operational instructions and practices, which ensure the implementation of the management’s orders. These actions include, for instance, approvals, authorisations, inspections, balancing, performance monitoring, protection of property and division of tasks.
Own operations in the company are monitored continuously also by means of separate evaluations, such as internal audits and audits of the accounts, supplier audits made by customers, as well as external and internal quality audits.
Control of financial reporting is performed by the Board of Directors, the auditors, President and CEO, Group’s management team and the Group’s finance departments. The monitoring is done continuously, as a part of daily duties or on specific assignment.
The Group aims at integrating control in all daily operations. Efficient internal control presupposes that the duties at job are divided in an appropriate manner and that eventual risky combinations of duties are eliminated. Tools for control are among others the Group-level instructions, checkpoints of financial reporting, instructions for book-keeping and reporting as well as the Group’s regular business reviews.
The Group has no specific organisation for internal auditing due to the scope of its business. The internal audit is organised so that the needed audit service is acquired from an external auditing service provider selected by the Group’s Board of Directors. The service provider, usually an authorised public accountant, shall be independent, competent and fitted with adequate resources.
