Auditors
The Articles of Association stipulate that the external auditor of Swiss Life Holding Ltd is to be elected by the Annual General Meeting for one financial year at a time. When Swiss Life Holding was established in 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was named statutory auditor and Group auditor. Since then, PwC has been reappointed without fail, most recently at the Annual General Meeting on 28 April 2023. Swiss Life Holding last invited tenders for its statutory auditor and Group auditor mandate for the 2008 financial year. On completion of the evaluation process, the Board of Directors, in accordance with the proposal of the Audit Committee, nominated PwC as its statutory auditor and Group auditor at the Annual General Meeting.
For all other Swiss Life Group companies that are directly or indirectly held by Swiss Life Holding under its scope of consolidation, Mazars and PwC will now act as external statutory auditors.
Mazars and PwC have confirmed that they meet the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.
