Governance

This committee normally meets up to four times a year and is chaired by a Board member. It supports the Board in discharging its responsibilities, particularly in maintaining an effective system of internal control. The committee’s objective is to give assurance to the Board on the effectiveness of the system of risk management and internal control, the integrity of the Association’s annual report and accounts, the work of the internal audit service, the external audit by the external auditor and such other matters as may be referred to it by the Board. The external and internal auditors attend key meetings and have direct access to the committee Chair. The committee keeps the relationship between the Association and its auditors under review and considers their independence, including the extent of their fees from non-audit services.

This committee is chaired by a member of the Board. It is responsible for the recruitment of Board members, the Board member appraisal system, advising on general corporate governance issues and the pay and remuneration of the Board and executive team.

The Customer Committee is chaired by a member of the Board and is responsible for overseeing the provision of services to the Association’s residents and other customers and monitoring resident engagement activities.
