We received the Quality Assessment certificate that recognizes our compliance with international internal audit standards, attesting to the use of best practices and compatibility with the highest standards adopted worldwide. The certification was granted by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), represented by the Brazilian Internal Auditors Institute (IIA Brasil), an organization that assesses the quality of the departments responsible for the matter in public and private sector entities.  

The awarding of the certification was held this Thursday (09/30) at Transpetro’s headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. In the presence of the Executive Manager for Internal Audit (Audin), Renato Trisciuzzi, the Manager for Planning, Integration and Control of Audin, Erick Alves received the certificate from the hands of the Director-Secretary of  IIA Brasil Juliano Berton. With this achievement, our company joins the select international companies that display this seal. 

To receive the seal we underwent detailed assessments conducted by the IIA consultant team, aligned with the most recent innovations and trends of the sector. The professionals verified our internal audit structure and if it contributed to improve the risk, control, and governance management of the company. Obtaining this certificate attested to the quality of our corporate governance practices and the capacity of our Internal Audit to bring about greater confidence in upper management decisions through assessments mandated by international legal and normative requirements.  

According to Renato Trisciuzzi, the awarding of the certificate represents a high point in the work to improve procedures, internal processes and governance practices that has been executed. “We have validation that our area is aligned with the International Structure for Professional Practices (IPPF), demonstrating that we operate with independence and objectivity and adopt high ethical, transparency and efficiency standards. We have attained the maximum recognition that an internal audit could provide. Few companies in the county have earned this quality seal. Now we can be proud of being in this select group”, he celebrated.  

The President of the Statutory Audit Committee (CAE), Marco Foletto, believes that the result of the assessment by IIA certifies what has occurred in recent years regarding Transpetro’s internal audit process. “Like in any business area of the company, for internal audits it is essential to have practices and procedures at the best worldwide level and in compliance with the principles and strategies of the company. In the view of CAE, the changes in the organizational structure implemented in the last few years and the impact of the pandemic on work methods constituted additional challenges to the effort to modernize and adapt the internal audit area towards obtaining this certification. The entire company, under Trisciuzzi’s leadership, should be congratulated and be proud to celebrate this achievement”, he stated.
