clearly accepted division of responsibilities at the head of company,
which will ensure a balance of power and authority, such that no
one individual has unfettered powers of decision.
Include non-executive directors-The board should include non-
executive directors of sufficient caliber and number for their view to
carry significant weight in the boards decisions.

Formal schedule of matters specifically reserved to it-The board should
have a formal schedule of matters specifically reserved to it for decisions to
ensure that the direction and control of the company is firmly in its hands.
Agreed procedure for directors to take independent professional advice-
There should be an agreed procedure for directors in the furtherance of their
duties to take independent professional advice if necessary, at the companys
expenses.
Access to the advice and services of the company secretary-
All directors should have access to the advice and services of the company
secretary, who is responsible to the board for ensuring that board procedures
are followed and that applicable rules and regulations are complied with.
Any question of the removal of the company secretary should be a matter for
the board as a whole.
 NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Independent judgement- Non-executive directors should bring an
independent judgement to bear on issues of strategy, performance,
resources, including key appointments, and standards of conduct.
Independent of management and free from business
relationship-
The majority should be independent of management and free

interfere with the exercise of their independent judgement, apart
from their fees and shareholding.
Their fees should reflect the time which they commit to the
company.
 NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
Specific term-
Non-executive directors should be appointed for specific term.

relationship is maintained with the auditors.

power. i.e., the role of chairman and chief executive should be
separated clearly.

their judgment on issue of strategy, performance, allocation of
resources, and designing the code of conduct.
A majority of directors should be independent non- executive
directors, i.e., they should not have any financial interests in the
company.
The term of the Directors can be extended beyond three years only
after the prior approval of the shareholders.

THE COMMITTEE ARE AS FOLLOWS
