Has anyone heard of the Board requesting that the Internal Auditor attend the AGM?  If so, for what purpose?  The Internal Auditor attends the Audit Committee meetings, and the Committee has the opportunity to go "in camera", but why at the AGM?  

We do have an external auditor, and they attend the year-end audit committee meeting to review the statements and provide their audit report. The internal auditor is also present during that meeting.  Our AGM is the Directors, three of whom are proxyholders, and this is the formality to approve the statements, re-appoint auditors, elect officers, etc.  The AGM takes place after a full Board meeting, and only takes about 5 minutes to complete those formalities.
