Our Audit committee supervises and monitors our financial reporting, risk management programme and compliance with relevant legislation and regulations. It oversees the preparation of our financial statements, our financial reporting process, our system of internal business controls and risk management, our internal and external audit process and our internal and external auditor’s qualifications, independence and performance. Our Audit committee also reviews our annual and interim financial statements and other public disclosures, prior to publication. Our Audit Committee appoints our external auditors, subject to shareholder vote, and oversees the work of the external and internal audit functions. This involves; providing compliance oversight, pre-approval of all audit engagement fees and terms, pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the external auditor, establishing internal auditing policies, discussing with the external auditor the results of the annual audit, critical accounting policies, significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the financial statements and related matters as well as reviewing earnings press releases and financial information provided to analysts and ratings agencies.
