Governance

Committees of the Board

The board has established four main committees: the audit committee, the remuneration committee, the nomination committee and the ESG committee. At each scheduled board meeting, the chair of each committee provides a summary of any committee meeting held since the previous board meeting. The minutes of committee meetings are circulated to the board, when appropriate.

Audit Committee

  • The audit committee comprises only non-executive directors - Richard Atkins (who serves as its chair), Amanda Brown, Pauline Campbell, Lawton Fitt, Robert Youngjohns, Debra Polishook and Vidya Rao.

    The audit committee reviews and monitors the integrity of the Group’s financial statements/ announcements, reporting processes (including financial and regulatory compliance), the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management. The committee also reviews the company’s viability assessment as well as managing the external auditor relationship.
