About this lesson
You'll explore the four main committees: audit (overseeing financial reporting and internal controls), nominations (managing board composition and recruitment), remuneration (setting executive pay and ensuring alignment with shareholder interests), and risk (identifying and mitigating organisational risks). Understanding committee structure, membership requirements, and responsibilities is crucial for exam success in governance papers like SBL and E3, and reflects real-world best practice in how boards operate.
