The Group Executive Team assists the CEO in the operative management of the Group, prepares items for the Board and the CEO, and plans and monitors the operations of the Group's business units. The Group Executive Team convenes at least once a month. The CEO acts as the Chairman of the Group Executive Team.

INTERNAL AUDIT

The Group has no separate internal audit organization. The establishment of an internal audit organization has not been deemed necessary due to the size of the company. The Group's Executive Team assesses and ensures the sufficiency and effectiveness of the Group's internal control, as well as supports the Board with its monitoring responsibility.

EXTERNAL AUDIT

According to the Articles of Association, Dovre Group shall have one auditor who shall be an audit firm. The term of the auditor expires at the end of the first Annual General Meeting following their selection. The Board's proposal for the auditor is disclosed in the notice of the General Meeting.

The primary purpose of an audit is to verify that the financial statements give accurate and adequate information concerning the Group's result and financial position for the financial period. In addition, the auditors shall report to the Board of Directors on the ongoing auditing of administration and operations.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS PERTAINING TO FINANCIAL REPORTING

The purpose of the Group's internal control is to support the implementation of the Group's strategy and to ensure that the Group complies with all relevant rules and regulations. The Group's internal control framework is based on the Dovre Group Authorization Matrix, which specifies the authority and the responsibilities of the Group's management. The Authorization Matrix is approved by the Board of Directors, which also acts as the highest supervisory body of the Group's internal control. The implementation of internal control measures is supervised primarily by the CEO and CFO, who report to the Board.

The ultimate responsibility for accounting and financial administration lies with Dovre Group's Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for internal control, and the CEO is responsible for the day-to-day organization and monitoring of the control system. The steering and monitoring of business operations is based on the reporting and business planning system that covers the entire Group. The CEO and CFO report monthly to the Board and the Group Executive Team on the Group's financial situation and development.

The purpose of financial reporting is to ensure that all assets and liabilities in the financial statements belong to the company; that all rights and liabilities of the company are presented in the financial statements; that items in the financial statements have been classified, disclosed, and described correctly; that assets, liabilities, income, and expenditure are entered in the financial statements at the correct amounts; that all transactions during the reporting period are included in the accounts; that transactions entered in the accounts are factual transactions; and that assets have been secured.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND RISK ASSESSMENT

The Group's risk management is guided by legal requirements, business requirements set by shareholders of the company, and the expectations of customers, personnel, and other important stakeholders. The goal of risk management is to acknowledge and identify systematically and comprehensibly any risks relating to the company's operations and to make sure that all such risks are appropriately accounted for when making business decisions.

The Group's risk management procedures support the achievement of the Group's strategic goals and seeks to ensure the continuity of the Group's business operations. The Group takes risks that are a natural part of its strategy and objectives. The Group is not ready to take risks that might endanger the continuity of its operations or be uncontrollable or that may significantly harm the Group's operations.

In accordance with the Group's risk management procedures, the Board of Directors receives an annual report of the most significant risks facing the Group. The Board analyses the risks from the point of view of shareholder value.

The company's risk management process includes an annual identification and analysis of risks pertaining to financial reporting. In addition, the company seeks to analyse and report all new risks immediately as soon as they have been identified. Taking into account the extent of the Group's business operations, the most significant risks pertaining to the reliability of financial reporting relate to revenue recognition, impairment testing (including goodwill), and tax reporting.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The correctness and reliability of financial reporting are ensured through compliance with Group policies and guidelines. Control functions that ensure the correctness of financial reporting include controls related to accounting transactions, to the selection of and

compliance with the Group's accounting principles, to information systems, and to fraud or malpractice.

Revenue recognition is supervised by the Group's CFO and is based on the required sale and delivery documents.

The Group's bad debt provision is reviewed monthly. Any eventual bad debt provisions are based on the aging of trade receivables per sales company.

The Group's goodwill is tested for impairment at the end of each financial year on the balance sheet date. Key variables used in the calculations are net sales growth and the estimated change of profit margin. In addition, indications of impairment are monitored regularly. If indications of impairment are detected, a separate testing is performed.

The performance of business operations and the attainment of annual goals is assessed monthly in Group Executive Team and Board meetings. Monthly management and Board reporting includes both the actual and the estimated results compared to the budget and the actual results of previous periods. Financial reports generated for the management are used for monitoring certain key indicators associated with the development of sales, profitability, and trade receivables on a monthly basis.

In accordance with its strategy, Dovre Group may complement its organic growth with acquisitions. In making acquisitions, the Group follows due diligence and utilizes its internal competence together with external advisors in the planning phase (e.g. due diligence), takeover phase, and when integrating acquired functions into the Group's operations.

INTERNAL COMMUNICATION AND SHARING OF INFORMATION

The purpose of management reporting is to produce up-to-date, relevant information for decision-making. The CFO provides the Group's business units with monthly reporting guidelines and is in charge of any special reporting instructions related to budgeting and forecasting. The Group's financial administration distributes, on a regular basis, internal information on processes and procedures pertaining to financial reporting. Internal control tasks are carried out in accordance with this information. Financial administration also arranges targeted training for the organization's personnel on the procedures associated with financial reporting and changes in them, if necessary. The Group's investor relations maintain, in cooperation with the Group's financial administration, the guidelines on the disclosure of financial information, including, for example, the disclosure obligations of a publicly listed company.

MONITORING

Monitoring refers to the process of assessing Dovre Group's internal control system and its performance in the long term. The Group continuously monitors its operations also through various separate assessments, such as internal and external audits, and supplier audits carried out by clients. The Group's management monitors internal control as part of its day-to-day work. The Group Executive Team is responsible for ensuring that all operations comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Group's financial administration monitors compliance with the financial reporting processes. The financial administration also monitors the correctness of external and internal financial reporting. The Board of Directors assesses and ensures the appropriateness and effectiveness of the Group's internal control and risk management.

The Group's internal control is also assessed by the Group's external auditor. The auditor verifies the correctness of external annual financial reporting. The most significant observations and recommendations of the audit are reported to the Board of Directors.
