    Audit Firm

    In accordance with the law, the statutory auditing of Eni’s financial statements is entrusted to an external Audit Firm appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, on a reasoned proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors.

    Activities and fees

    Acting upon the reasoned proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors, Eni’s Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2010 approved the engagement of EY SpA ( formerly Ernst & Young SpA) for the 2010-2018 period to perform the following: 

    • auditing of the Company’s individual financial statements;
    • auditing of the consolidated financial statements;
    • verification, during the course of the financial period, that the Company's accounts are duly maintained and that operations are correctly entered in the accounting records;
    • a limited audit of the semi-annual financial report;
    • verification of Form 20-F.

    Riccardo Rossi will be the audit partner responsible for providing these services to Eni starting from the Consolidated Financial Statement 2017 of Eni. Reports of the Audit Firm containing its opinion on the financial statements of the Company are available in the Publications section of the website.

    For providing the abovementioned auditing services for the 2010-2018 period EY SpA presented to Eni the following fees, totaling € 20,346,714.

    Activities and fees of Eni SpA approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting for the period 2010 – 2018

    Activities and fees of Eni Group for the period 2010 – 2018

    EY SpA has also been engaged to provide the same auditing services to the subsidiaries of Eni SpA. 

    EY SpA also provides additional services, in the manner described in International Standard on Auditing no. 600 (ISA 600). This involves, for the purposes of preparing an opinion on the consolidated financial statements, the assumption of full liability for auditing activities performed by any other Audit Firms regarding the financial statements of subsidiaries that, taken together, account for an immaterial share of consolidated assets and revenues. By assuming this liability, EY SpA, in its report on the consolidated financial statements, has the role and responsibility of sole auditor for the Eni Group. 

    Thus, the Audit Firm’s overall proposal for Eni’s Group as formulated in 2010 is structured as follows:

    ACTIVITIES AND FEES of ENI GROUP FOR THE PERIOD 2010 – 2018
    Activity2010 -2018
     HoursFee (euro)

    Eni S.p.A. and subsidiaries

    2,097,856 133,379,211

    of which, for statutory audit activities

    1,346,425 83,513,742

    of which, for SOX activities

    597,135 40,136,103

    of which, for additional services

    154,296 9,729,365

    Considering the significant time span covered by the assignment, it was envisaged to recognize EY SpA , adjustments of the fees in the presence of i) non-recurring and unforeseeable events at the time of the competition occurred during the financial year and ii) recurrent major activities of auditing review.

    In carrying out its work, the Audit Firm shall have access to the information, data (both documentation and digital information), archives and property of the Company and its subsidiaries. 

    The "Rules on the auditing of financial statements", approved by the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors - following the issuance of a favorable opinion by the Control and Risk Committee - set out the general principles pertaining to: the granting and revocation of the engagement; relations between the primary auditor of the Group and secondary auditors; the independence of the Audit Firm and causes for incompatibility; reporting responsibilities and obligations of the Audit Firm; and the regulation of information flows towards the Company and the SEC. 

    This regulatory instrument is under review as a result of the profound revision of sector legislation (1).

    In the new regulatory framework of the statutory auditing, the Board of Statutory Auditors has been entrusted with the responsibility for the approval of additional assignments and extra work, subject to the opportunity for adequate disclosure to the Board of Directors.

    The Board of Statutory Auditors of Eni SpA:

    • approves the assignment of additional recurring assignments closely related to statutory auditing activity (e.g. costs certification under petroleum contracts) while conferring the Group's total assignment;
    • previously approved the additional assignments provided by civil law or other regulations concerning subsidiaries (e.g. services requested to the auditor responsible for auditing the financial statements by the Authorities and / Control Entities);
