(II) Basis for Work Pertinent to Inspection and Assessment of Internal Control and Standards for Identifying Deficiencies in Internal Control
In order to facilitate the self-improvement of the internal control system, assure the effectiveness of internal control, enhance the effort to enforce the system, regulate operation and management, prevent major risks, achieve the objectives of control and comply with external regulatory requirements, the Company has conducted the assessment of internal control in accordance with the Standards for Internal Control of Enterprises and the Company’s Internal Control Manual and the Methods for Inspection and Assessment of Internal Control.
In accordance with the requirements provided in the Standards for Internal Control of Enterprises for identifying material deficiencies, significant deficiencies and general deficiencies and pursuant to the Company’s size, industrial characteristics, risk appetite, risk tolerance and other elements, the Company’s Board of Directors differentiates internal control over financial reporting and internal control unrelated to financial reporting and, upon research, ascertains specific standards applicable to identification of deficiencies in the Company’s internal control in consistent with those standards applicable for previous years.
It’s expressly provided for in the Company’s Internal Control Manual that deficiencies in internal control consist of deficiencies in design and deficiencies in operation, or material deficiencies, significant deficiencies and general deficiencies by severity, or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting and deficiencies in internal control unrelated to financial reporting by specific manifestation, in which:
A material deficiency refers to a deficiency in control or a combination of several deficiencies in control, or serious loopholes in key areas or links that in each case may seriously affect the effectiveness of the overall internal control and further make it impossible to timely prevent or detect the occurrence of severe deviation from the objectives of the overall control; a deficiency meeting the standards for identifying a significant deficiency should be identified as a material deficiency if matters involved in such deficiency belong to material high-risk business matters.
A significant deficiency refers to a deficiency in control or a combination of several deficiencies in control, or loopholes in key areas or links whose severity is lower than that of a material deficiency but that may still make it impossible to timely prevent or detect the occurrence of deviation from the objectives of the overall control to a significant extent; a deficiency meeting the standards for identifying a general deficiency should be identified as a significant deficiency if matters involved in such deficiency belong to significant high-risk business matters of the Company.
General deficiencies refer to deficiencies other than material deficiencies and significant deficiencies.
The Company’s standards for identifying deficiencies in its internal control consist of qualitative criteria and quantitative criteria. Deficiencies will be identified as existing in matters meeting both the qualitative criteria and quantitative criteria in a strict manner. Deficiencies in internal control, according to their particular forms of expression, are divided into deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting or deficiencies in internal control unrelated to financial reporting.

1. Standards for Identifying Deficiencies in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
In accordance with the qualitative criteria, if (I) the directors, supervisors and senior executives commit fraudulent practice in any form, such as financial fraud, abuse of authority, corruption, acceptance of bribes, peculation, etc.; (II) the internal environment is ineffective, for example, the duties and authorities, the qualifications for members and the rules of procedure, of the audit committee (or similar organ) are not explicitly specified or fail to be implemented in a strict manner, and the supervision of the internal control by the audit committee (or similar organ) and the internal audit organ is ineffective; (III) there are deficiencies in control of the selection of financial and accounting systems, for example, the Company fails to select and apply accounting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or amends the accounting policies and accounting estimates at will, or the financial statements are prepared on improper basis, resulting in material misstatement in the financial report; (IV) general control deficiencies and application control deficiencies in information system relating to financial reporting (such as ERP system, BW/BCS system, centralized accounting system, centralized fund management system) directly causes material misstatement in or omission from the financial statements; (V) external auditor detects material misstatement in the annual audit and such misstatement fails to be dug out in the operation of internal control; (VI) amendments are made to published financial statements, except as required by applicable regulatory authorities, material deficiencies should be identified as existing in internal control over financial reporting.
In accordance with the quantitative criteria, in order to judge right it is necessary to calculate whether the impact of the potential misstatement that may arise upon occurrence of the deficiency upon the Company’s total profit, total assets and total business income exceeds the established ratio. If the number of targets affected by a deficiency in control or a combination of several deficiencies in control is more than one (for instance, both the profit and the assets are affected), the value of each target should be calculated independently, and the deficiency should be identified based on the target whose value is the highest of all the targets involved.
(2) Standards for Identifying Deficiencies in Internal Control unrelated to Financial Reporting.
In accordance with the qualitative criteria, if (I) the duties and authorities between the governance (the Board of Directors and the Board of Supervisors) and the management are improperly divided and the personnel are highly overlapping, thus the governance lacks proper independence, the duties and authorities, the qualifications for members and the rules of procedure, of the Board of Directors and the professional committees thereof (other than the audit committee) are not explicitly specified or fail to be implemented in a strict manner; (II) the Company lacks democratic decision-making procedures, collective-decision making or joint signing system fails to be implemented in respect of decisions on “Three Significant and One Major” (i.e., appointments and removals of major officers, decisions on investment in major projects, applications of large amount of money) and other major issues, for example, significant acquisitions failed or it’s unable to operate newly acquired units on a continuous basis due to unscientific decision-making procedure or faults in the decision-making procedure; (III) neither risk assessment has been conducted nor controlling measures have been established before the Company’s major project is commenced and the Company may incur heavy losses as a result thereof; (IV) there is a lack of system control or such control fails for major business, including without limitation fund activities (including both investment and financing), procurement business, asset management, sales business, research and development, construction project, guarantee business and business outsourcing; (V) general control deficiencies and application control deficiencies in respect of the information system unrelated to financial reporting directly lead to severe deviation of an enterprise from certain business objectives, such as continuing operation, compliance, reputation, etc.; (VI) other material deficiencies unrelated to financial reporting arise as a result of improper internal control; (VII) a material deficiency in the Company’s internal control fails to be effectively rectified within a reasonable period and still has significant impact upon the current period, material deficiencies should be identified as existing in internal control unrelated to financial reporting. In accordance with the quantitative criteria, it is necessary to calculate whether the impact of a deficiency upon staff turnover, direct property loss rate and extent of budget deviation exceeds the established ratio upon the occurrence thereof in order to determine the grade of the deficiency in internal control unrelated to financial reporting.
