The Board has delegated certain elements of its responsibilities to Committees, to assist in discharging its duties. Five formal committees have been established, which focus on their own areas of expertise. An overview of the key responsibilities for each Committee is set out below.
Audit & Risk
Our Audit & Risk Committee’s key objectives are the provision of effective governance over the appropriateness of the Group’s financial reporting, including the adequacy of related disclosures; the performance of both the internal and external audit function; the review of management’s identification and mitigation of key risks; the monitoring of the risk assessment programme, including incidents and remedial activity; the continuous review of a risk management strategy and the relevant policies for the Group; the assessment of the adequacy of the structures, processes and responsibilities for identifying and managing risks.
Regulatory & Compliance
Our Regulatory & Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the Group’s status of compliance with laws, regulations, and internal procedures, including compliance with the latest conditions of the regulatory gambling licenses held.
Nominations
Our Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing the structure, size and composition of the Board and its Committees and makes recommendations with regard to any changes considered necessary in the identification and nomination of new Directors, the reappointment of existing Directors and the appointment of members to the Board’s Committees. It also assesses the roles of the existing Directors in office to ensure that there continues to be a balanced Board in terms of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity.
Remuneration
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the Remuneration Policy for the Chairman, Executive Directors and senior management.
