The FSC convened a colloquium for chief internal auditors of fifteen financial holding companies on June 6 for the first half of 2025.This is the first time that the frequency of the colloquium increased from annually to semiannually for strengthening bilateral communication and sharing experience among Chief Auditors of financial holding companies. In addition, the FSC also took the unprecedented step of inviting independent directors appointed by financial holding companies to participate in the colloquium to allow them to gain a deeper understanding of the audit operations and the FSC's supervisory measures.

The FSC examiner reiterated “The Examination Items and Key Concerns of Venture Capital Businesses affiliated with Financial Institutions” in the first session of the colloquium. Afterwards, two Chief Auditors from Yuanta and Hun Nan Financial Holding Companies shared respectively with their experiences in “Promoting the transformation and experience inheritance of audit business” and “Conducting Financial Holding Conglomerate-wide Examinations” to facilitate mutual learning among institution peers.

An unconstrained-theme QA session was arranged in the colloquium for participants to raise enquiries, exchange mutual opinions and expectations toward the effectiveness of internal audit function.

The bilateral communicative colloquium benefited financial holding companies better understand the FSC’s supervisory concerns. The FSC will continue to host such colloquiums in the due course to sustain effective communication with these institutions.
