Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for challenging the quality of internal and external control and for ensuring that the financial performance of the Group is properly reported and reviewed.

The members of the Audit Committee Francis Coles, as Chair, and Matthew P. Earl, both independent non-executive directors. Meetings are held on average twice a year. The main duties of the Committee are set out below:

  • Reviewing and recommending to the Board in relation to the appointment and removal of the external auditor.
  • Recommending the external auditor’s remuneration and terms of engagement.
  • Reviewing the independence of the external auditors, the objectivity and the effectiveness of the audit process, taking into account relevant professional and regulatory requirements.
  • Reviewing and monitoring the extent of the non-audit work undertaken by the Group’s external auditor.
  • Reviewing a wide range of financial matters including the annual and half year results.
  • Monitoring the controls which ensure the integrity of the financial information reported to the shareholders.
  • Nominations and Remuneration Committee

    The Committee decides the remuneration policy that applies to executive directors and senior management. The Remuneration Committee meets as necessary in order to consider and set the annual remuneration for executive directors and senior managers, having regard to personal performance and industry remuneration rates. In determining that policy, it considers a number of factors including:

  • the basic salaries and benefits available to executive directors and senior management of comparable companies;
  • the need to attract and retain directors and others of an appropriate calibre; and
  • the need to ensure all executives’ commitment to the success of the Group.
  • The members of the Nominations and Remuneration Committees are myself, Francis Coles, as Chair, and Matthew P. Earl both independent non-executive directors. The Board is of the view that we have recent and relevant experience. Meetings are held on average twice a year.
