Main duties

The Board of Statutory Auditors oversees compliance with the law and with Snam's Bylaws, as well as respect for the principles of proper administration in the performance of company activities; it also evaluates the adequacy of the organisational, administrative and accounting structure and how it functions in practice. The Board of Statutory Auditors also performs supervisory activities in its role as the internal control and audit committee.
