Board Committees

The Board of Directors has two permanent committees: the Audit Committee and the Personnel and Remuneration Committee. The Board of Directors elects the members of the committees among its members at its annual organizing meeting. Both Committees report to the Board on their activities after each Committee meeting. 

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the Board in supervising the Company’s governance, accounting and financial reporting, internal control systems and monitoring the activities of the external audit. The Audit Committee prepares for the Board matters that fall under its areas of responsibility, but it does not have autonomous decision- making powers unless the Board resolves otherwise on certain matters.

The Chair and members of the Audit Committee are elected annually by the Board from among its members. The Audit Committee comprises at least three members. The members of the Audit Committee must be independent of the Company, and at least one member must also be independent of the Company’s significant shareholders.
