A request for information for audit purposes
Bank report for audit purposes is an overview of a company’s current accounts with Danske Bank A/S Estonia branch and the data on the agreements related to these current accounts as at a particular date.
A request for information for audit purposes can be submitted to Sampo Pank by the authorised person of a company (a member of the management board or a person authorised to submit the request) as follows:
- in the online bank >Mailbox >Messages >Ordering of information for auditors
- by e-mailing a digitally signed audit query request on the form “Request for information for audit purposes“ provided by Sampo Bank or on the company's letterhead to Sampo Bank at info@sampopank.ee;
- at any branch of Sampo Bank.
A request submitted on the company’s letterhead must contain the following data:
- name and contact details of the audit firm and the manner in which the response to the query should be sent;
- the language in which the response to the query should be given (Estonian or English);
- number of the account from which the service charge for the query is paid;
- the manner in which a copy of the response should be sent to the company, if necessary.
In accordance with the customer’s request Sampo Pank forwards an overview of a report on the balances of the customer’s current accounts and the data on the agreements related to the current accounts directly to the customer’s auditor or to the customer. If the customer indicates in the request that the bank report should be sent electronically, the bank will use the electronic channel as the first preference.
Sampo Bank uses a modern and secure way of forwarding bank reports for audit purposes – a digitally signed and encrypted bank report for audit purposes is sent by e-mail. In order to send a digitally signed and encrypted bank report for audit purposes to the counterparty, the bank needs to know the name and ID-code (or the digi stamp and the certificate of the company) and the e-mail address of the counterparty. An encrypted bank report can be decrypted only by the contact person of the company by means of his/her ID card or the digi stamp of the company. The company can also ask the bank to send the report for audit purposes to its mailbox in Sampo online bank where the report is preserved for 3 months after the arrival of the report in the mailbox.
An audit query is subject to a service charge as set out in the
price list of Sampo Bank. Responses to audit queries are prepared not later than within 10 business days of receipt of a specific request and the service charge in Sampo Bank.
