Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø adopts an enterprise-wide, systematic and integrated approach to risk management in identifying key risks and ensuring appropriate risk mitigation measures are in place, reviewed and monitored.
Assuming the overall governance of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø is the Board of Directors. Comprising independent elected members, the Board is responsible for the strategic direction of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø, provides governance oversight on all financial, remuneration, risk and audit matters, and closely monitors compliance with control measures.
As part of good corporate governance, Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø has in place the Whistle-Blowing Policy and Conflict of Interest best practices. Under the latter, Board members or staff who have personal interests in business transactions or contracts that Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø may enter into or have vested interest in any organisation that Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø has dealings with, are required to declare such conflicts of interest to the Board or senior management immediately, and to abstain from any discussion or decision making on the matter of interest.
The Whistle-Blowing Policy extends the notion of corporate governance to all staff and vendors, allowing them to take responsibility in playing their part to help Â鶹ÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø achieve a greater level of public confidence in our corporate governance.
