Corporate governance
Last reviewed 31 July 2020 The Directors acknowledge the importance of high standards of corporate governance and have chosen to comply with the principles set out in the QCA Corporate Governance Code (the QCA Code), to the extent that the Board considers appropriate for a business of the Company’s size and nature. A summary of how the Company currently complies with the QCA Code is set out below to be updated at least annually in the manner recommended by the QCA Code. As Chairman, my role is to lead the Board of Directors and to be responsible for ensuring that the Company adheres to and applies the standards of corporate governance. The Board meets regularly to review, formulate and approve the Group’s strategy, performance and corporate actions. The Company has established an Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and a Remuneration Committee with formally delegated duties and responsibilities and with written terms of reference. Each of these committees meets regularly as set out below. From time to time, separate committees may be set up by the Board to consider specific issues when the need arises, such as the Agent Recruitment Committee already formed.
