Governance

The purpose of corporate governance is to facilitate effective, entrepreneurial and prudent management that can deliver the long-term success of the company

Governance Structure

Corporate Governance Structure Chart

Corporate governance is the system by which the company is directed and controlled. Board of directors is responsible for the governance of the company. The shareholders’ role in governance is to appoint the directors and the auditors and to satisfy themselves that an appropriate governance structure is in place.

The responsibilities of the Board include setting the company’s strategic aims, providing the leadership to put them into effect, supervising the management of the business and reporting to shareholders on their stewardship.

The Board of Directors represents the membership of the organisation. The board sets in place policies, procedures, values and long-term planning to meet the mission of the organisation. The board does this through a governance structure. The structure a board decides to implement will dictate not only the policies of the organisation but also such things as the relationship between staff and the board, and the role and use of committees.

Corporate governance is therefore about what the board of a company does and how it sets the values of the company, and it is to be distinguished from the day to day operational management of the company by full-time executives.

Committee Composition

A committee (or “commission”) is a body of one or more persons that is subordinate to a deliberative assembly. Usually, the assembly sends matters into a committee as a way to explore them more fully than would be possible if the assembly itself were considering them. Committees may have different functions and their type of work differ depending on the type of the organization and its needs.

  • The Nomination Committee: A nomination committee is a committee that acts as part of an organization’s corporate governance. A nomination committee will evaluate the board of directors of its respective firm and examine the skills and characteristics needed in board candidates.
    The nomination committee is a crucial part of a company’s corporate governance. This is a system of rules and processes that direct and controls a company. Corporate governance is essential for balancing the interests of a company’s many stakeholders, including but not limited to shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and community of users. Corporate governance provides the framework for attaining a company’s objectives.
  • The Audit Committee: is a committee of the board of directors responsible for oversight of the financial reporting process, selection of the independent auditor, and receipt of audit results both internal and external. The committee assists the board of directors to fulfil its corporate governance and overseeing responsibilities in relation to an entity’s financial reporting, internal control system, risk management system and internal and external audit functions. Its role is to provide advice and recommendations to the board within the scope of its terms of reference/charter.
