The Swedish state’s ownership policy states that the owner is responsible for the election of auditors and that the auditors are to be appointed by the Annual General Meeting. Proposals for election of auditors and for auditors’ fees are submitted by the Board and drafted by the company. The auditors are elected for a mandate period of one year, in accordance with the main rule in the Swedish Companies Act.
