HOLDINGS S.A. COMPLIES WITH REQUIREMENTS OF SARBANES-OXLEY
ACT
PANAMA,
July 5, 2007 - Copa
Holdings S.A. (NYSE: CPA) announces that it has successfully concluded all
work
required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) related to internal
controls over financial reporting.
“Copa
Holdings’ successful completion of its internal control evaluation process
underscores our commitment to high ethical standards of corporate governance,
ongoing transparency and the effectiveness of our financial controls and
processes”, stated Mr. Victor Vial, Chief Financial Officer of Copa
Holdings.S.A.
Created
to protect shareholders of publicly-held companies against accounting fraud
risks and improve the reliability of financial reporting, Section 404 of
SOX
requires companies to document and evaluate their internal controls over
financial reporting. This includes maintenance of records to fairly reflect
transactions and provide reasonable assurance regarding preparation of financial
statements and prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use,
or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial
statements.
Another
requirement of Section 404 of SOX is that our independent auditors
perform an audit of our internal controls over financial reporting;
this
audit has been carried out and has concluded that our internal controls over
financial reporting were effective and that management's evaluation of the
effectiveness of controls was fairly stated.
