Introduction

SM&CR has a strong emphasis on appointing the most fit & proper persons to corporate governance committees. Furthermore, the chair of some committees (e.g. the audit committee and the nomination committee) is a Senior Manager under the regime. You can document the membership, structure and remit of committees in Corterum.
