Annual audit

External Audit

Every year, the annual financial statements of the Air Liquide Foundation are audited by the Statutory Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Their audit mission is carried out in compliance with the rules of independence set out in the French Commercial Code and the Code of Ethics of the Statutory Auditors. 

PwC certifies that the annual financial statements are, in accordance with French accounting rules and principles, regular and sincere and give a true and fair view of the results of the operations of the past fiscal year as well as of the financial situation and assets of the Foundation at the end of this fiscal year.

Internal Audit

The Foundation's operations are regularly and rigorously audited by Air Liquide's Internal Audit department. The 2021 audit of the Foundation focused on its processes, the proper use of funds and the prevention of conflicts of interest with the activities of its founders.
