Art. 83b
III. Auditors 1. Duty of audit and applicable law 1The board of trustees shall appoint external auditors. 2The supervisory authority may exempt a foundation from the duty to appoint external auditors. The Federal Council determines the conditions for such exemption. 3Where there are no special provisions for foundations, the provisions of the Code of Obligations2 on external auditors for public limited companies apply mutatis mutandis. 4If the foundation has a duty to carry out a limited audit, the supervisory authority may require a full audit where necessary for a reliable assessment of the foundation’s financial situation. 1 Inserted by No I of the FA of 8 Oct. 2004 (Law on Foundations) (AS 2005 4545; BBl 2003 8153 8191).
