Board charters, committees and delegation of authority

Introduction

Setting out who decides what in a company: the board's role, its committees and the authority delegated to management.

A board works only when its role is written down and followed. We draft board charters that set out the board's responsibilities, meetings, voting and evaluation, and charters for audit, nomination and remuneration, risk and investment committees, sized to the company rather than copied from a template.

The delegation of authority matrix is where governance meets daily work. It sets financial limits, signing powers and the decisions reserved for the board or the shareholders, so managers can act quickly and the board keeps control of what matters.

For listed companies, the Capital Market Authority's Corporate Governance Regulations set mandatory requirements; for private and family companies, the Companies Law leaves more room. We build frameworks that meet the rules that apply and match how the company actually takes decisions.
