Audit Committee
The Audit Committee meets not less than twice annually. The Committee provides a forum for reporting by the Group’s external and internal auditors. Meetings are attended, by invitation, by the Chief Executive and Finance Director.
The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing a wide range of matters including the half year and annual accounts before their submission to the Board and monitoring the controls that are in force to ensure the integrity of the information reported to shareholders. The Audit Committee advises the Board on the appointment of external auditors and on their remuneration both for audit and non-audit work, and discusses the nature, scope and results of the audit with external auditors. The Audit Committee keeps under review the cost effectiveness and the independence and objectivity of the external and internal auditors.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board, within agreed terms of reference, on the company’s framework of executive remuneration and its cost. The Committee determines the contract terms, remuneration and other benefits for each of the executive directors and certain senior management including performance related bonus schemes, pension rights and compensation payments. The Board as a whole determines the remuneration of the non-executive directors.
In order to attract and retain the best quality management the company’s policy is to offer compensation packages that are competitive and contain a significant performance related element. Salaries are reviewed annually after considering the performance and contribution made to the business by the individual. Independent external studies and comparisons are used as necessary to ensure that rewards reflect both individual and company performance
Nominations Committee
The Committee is responsible for proposing candidates for appointment to the Board, having regard to the balance and structure of the Board. In appropriate cases, recruitment agencies are used to assist the process. All directors are subject to re-election at least every three years.
