For the recycled items audit recognized organization (recycled electronic items and wasteful material categorization) – the special project schematized as below (hereafter as the project) for a two years of continuation, the project execution period arise from Jan 01, 2015 until Dec 31, 2016, with the audit context including the below: recycling quantity/managed level, operation procedure, environmental and accounting process. The work summary is as below for the project. 1.The wasted CRT TV audit accreditation quantity set is 1,932,844, with the wasted LCT TV set audit accreditation quantity of 181,348, and wasted fridge audit accreditation quantity of 780,650, the wasted washing machine audit accreditation quantity of 926,436, the wasted air conditioner accreditation quantity of 1,358,492, the wasted fan accreditation quantity of 8,254, with all kinds of wasted electronic materials of in total of 5,188,024 pieces. The wasted CRT monitor of 390,211 pieces and wasted LCD indicator of 1,585,672, wasted host machines (Category A, B and C) of 2,627,400, wasted portable notebook of 245,434, wasted printers of 1,000,329, and wasted keyboards of 732,389, with all kinds of wasted IT items of accreditation in total of 6,581,435. On the other hand, this scheme has also proposed accessory missing items in the period of Oct 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016 for accreditation quantity, with total of wasted CRT TV sets of 760kgs, wasted LCD TV sets of 2,408kgs, wasted fridge of 11,377kgs, wasted air conditioners of 5,233 kgs and wasted CRT monitor of 598.6kgs and wasted keyboards of 90kgs. 2.There are total of 7,830 sites of stationed accreditation sites, with unqualified incidents of 257 cases, in which the most common abnormal ones are “accreditation facility” with the highest incidence rate of 213 pieces, approximates at 2.72%. This project has requested the supported parties with reinforcement on the maintenance of the video-taping system, also to propose routine CCTV maintenance regulation, to coach the supplier with CCTV video-taping system and camera shot maintenance of at least once a month, to lower the frequency of malfunction and ensure the clear vision. In conclusion, such abnormality has decreased significantly in comparison to the previous two years. 3.This project proceed with environmental safety work once a month, with total of 388 sets of environmental safety audit work. The audit has resulted with higher incidents of unqualified fire-fighting with total of 16 times, all of the above have proceed with improvement methodologies accordingly. 4.During the period of this project, all the supported organization have not had incidents such as recycled material or other wasted items with inventory quantity exceeding three months of production quantity, with all the inventory have all completed their operation without delay nor has anything being un-cleared. On the other hand, the outflow and car-following checking up, two sites check up and final management site check up with total of 72 sessions without any abnormalities. 5.This project has proceeded with accounting audit through accounting firm in regards to the monthly inventory corresponding to the accounting formalities without any major abnormalities. 6.This project regulates a monthly report with the managed accredited recycled quantity, managed quantity, unqualified standard quality, abnormal incidents with data analysis and tracking report before 15th of each month, and two months result analysis reports to be presented every two monthly before 15th of the odd-numbered month and present to the Environment Bureau. 7.This project execution period has total of abnormal incidents of 538 cases from all the supported organizations with the below summary, (1)Major abnormal events in total of 206 cases, with “Environmental safety – refrigerant leakage frequency exceeds the regulated (3 times/day) and the “accreditation facility – non audit accreditation period of CCTV un-identified CCTV”, as the highest frequency of all, in respective of 34.95% and 15.05%. In regards to the major abnormal events, this project follows the manual regulation to present to Environmental Bureau, in which these events were considered abnormal with point(s) recorded and quantity deduction. Points are recorded due to major violation towards accreditation operation manual, and all the abnormal points are in total of 199 points, in regards to the violation quantity deduction part, there are wasted CRT TV 673 pieces, wasted LCT TV 15 pieces, wasted refrigeration 631 pieces, wasted washing machine 235 pieces, wasted air conditioners 1,683 pieces, wasted fan 3 pieces, wasted CRT monitor 65 pieces, wasted LCD monitor 404 pieces, wasted host machine Category-A 450 pieces, wasted host machine Category-B 74 pieces, wasted host machine Category-C 7 pieces, wasted notebooks of 64 pieces, wasted printers of 580 pieces and wasted keyboards of 238 pieces. All the above major abnormalities have been requested to the supported organization to propose substantial improvement statement and relevant follow-up until all improvements have achieved according to the principle of this project. (2)General abnormal events are in total of 332 cases, in which the audit accreditation abnormality has the highest abnormal rate, with 53.61%. in which CCTV disturbance/no connection, CCTV angle deviation and CCTV analysis/electronic shock. This project has supported the environmental bureau to amend the audit accreditation manual scope, in which to include the supported organization to proceed with CCTV maintenance regulation under the witness of audit officer. 8.In order to scrutinize the audit operation, also to ensure if all audit officers follow the accreditation operation, this project propose an internal audit formality for any appropriate adjustment or any improvement suggestions. Proper execution under the principle of ISO 9000 quality management system is conducted to ensure the audit accreditation quality. During the period of Jan 1st, 2015 to Dec 31, 2016, total of 4 times of on-site inspection for the audit operation on full time audit officers were conducted, and all the officers passed the qualification standard. 52 additional on-site un-warned inspection were held, (including 22 sessions of cross-material managers onsite inspections) and 242 attendees of CCTV inspection operation without any major abnormalities, this project follows internal audit operation including internal audit with systemic sides and operation sides, the relevant faults have all been improved immediately within the internal audit team. 9.This project has executed newly additional full time audit officers with 40 hours and above training course. On the other hand, the whole team training had two sessions on both periods of Feb 27, 28, 2015 and Feb 27, 28, 2016. Also on May 1st 2015 there are accounting audit training sessions at North, Middle and Southern part of Taiwan, with non periodically training sessions each month for at least 3 hours, on the other hand, the accreditation training manual has announced on May 19, 2016 that this project has held non-periodically meeting training to reinforcement on the trainings for any revision made. 10.

All kinds of reversible recycle wasted-four machines of qualified quantity of 133,012 pieces. 12. Administration support and accommodation (1)This project execution period completes onsite inspection with total of 10 sessions, with documentary review of 168 pieces. (2)This project has corresponds with the Environmental Bureau to propose the unqualified standard wastes to enter into the audit accreditation system and its relevant audit control process. In the future, overseas wastes items operation and recycled items shall be announced to enter into the audit accreditation system and other relevant control management will be established according to the Environmental Bureau. (3)To correspond with the “CCTV online connection system and quantitative equipment connection” propelled by Environmental Bureau, and assist with relevant operation. (4)To correspond with “holistic audit support for all supported organization” held by Environmental Bureau in total of 388 sessions.
