EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. (EDP), has defined clear guidelines in order to reinforce internal corporate governance policies regarding independent professional relationships with the External Auditors and decided, once more, to request an audit services proposal for the period 2004-2006, in relation to all companies within the EDP Group.

 

Several international audit firms were invited to present their proposals, including the audit firm that served EDP in the previous period.

 

Upon conclusion of the proposal evaluation process, the Management of EDP decided to enter into an External Audit Services contract with KPMG Portugal, starting October 2004.
