Fiscal Council – nova – FAQ
According to the Brazilian Corporation Law, the Fiscal Council is a corporate body that is independent from both management and external auditors. The Fiscal Council may function both permanently or temporarily, in which case it will function during a specific year, when set up at the request of shareholders representing at least 2% of the voting shares. The period of its functioning will end at the first Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held after it is set up.
The main responsibilities of the Fiscal Council are to oversee the management’s activities, review the Company’s financial statements and report its findings to shareholders. The Brazilian Corporation Law establishes that Fiscal Council members receive remuneration equivalent to at least 10% of the average annual compensation paid to executive officers of the Company. The Law also requires that the Fiscal Council be composed of at least three and no more than five members, and their respective alternate members.
The Bylaws of the Company provide for a non-permanent Fiscal Council, elected solely at the request of shareholders at a Shareholders’ Meeting. Eucatex currently has a Fiscal Council set up.
