Audit Committee
The Company’s Audit Committee currently consists of three members: Mr. Chang-Chou Li, Mr. Chun-Hao Lai, and Ms. Hsin-Hsin Li. The Audit Committee is established to assist the Board of Directors in enhancing corporate governance performance. Its primary duties of review include:
In accordance with Article 14-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the establishment or amendment of the internal control system and the assessment of its effectiveness. Pursuant to Article 36-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act, the Committee also reviews the establishment or amendment of procedures for handling significant financial and business activities, including the acquisition or disposal of assets, derivatives trading, lending of funds to others, and endorsements or guarantees for others. In addition, the Committee reviews matters involving directors’ own interests, significant asset or derivatives transactions, major lending of funds, endorsements or guarantees, the raising, issuance, or private placement of equity-type securities, the appointment, dismissal, or compensation of the certifying CPA, the appointment or dismissal of financial, accounting, or internal audit officers, annual financial reports signed or stamped by the Chairman, managers, and accounting officers, second-quarter financial reports required to be audited and certified by CPAs, and other significant matters as stipulated by the Company or competent authorities.
The Audit Committee convenes regular meetings on a quarterly basis. Within the scope of its authority, the Committee may invite members of management, internal auditors, the Company’s engaged certified public accountants, or other relevant personnel to attend the meetings and provide pertinent information.
The Committee convenes at least once every quarter. In 2024, the Audit Committee of SOI held a total of four meetings, with an attendance rate of 100% for all members.
To enhance the effectiveness of the Audit Committee and strengthen corporate governance, in 2024 (the 113th year of the ROC calendar) the Audit Committee conducted a self-assessment through evaluation questionnaires to review its overall effectiveness. This represented an independent and objective evaluation by each director regarding the Audit Committee’s performance. The assessment covered five key dimensions: the level of participation in company operations, awareness of committee responsibilities, quality of decision-making, committee composition and member selection, and internal control.
The internal performance evaluation of the Audit Committee for the year 2024 (ROC Year 113) was rated as "Excellent."
