Who is ING’s independent auditor?
Ernst & Young is ING Group’s sole audit firm, performing the external audit of ING Group as of 2008. The external audit of the 2007 annual accounts was performed jointly by Ernst & Young and KPMG. The Supervisory Board’s proposal to assign the external audit of ING Groep N.V. and its subsidiaries to one single audit firm was approved by ING Group’s General Meeting on 22 April 2008. The decision allows ING to improve efficiency of the audit activities and to reduce audit costs.
