Remuneration Committee The Remuneration Committee, comprising solely the independent non-executive directors, is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on the Company's framework of Executive remuneration and its cost. The Committee determines the contract terms, remuneration and other benefits for each of the executive directors, including performance related bonus schemes, pension rights and compensation payments. The Board itself determines the remuneration of the non-executive directors. It is chaired by the A.H. Yadgaroff and has access to recruitment consultants when required. The Committee's terms of reference are available here. Audit Committee The Audit Committee comprises solely the independent non-executive directors and is chaired by J.G. Whellock. Its prime tasks are to review the scope of internal and external audit, to receive regular reports from the Company's auditors and to review the half-yearly and annual accounts before they are presented to the Board, focusing in particular on accounting policies and areas of management judgment and estimation. The committee is responsible for monitoring the controls which are in force to ensure the integrity of the information reported to the shareholders. The committee acts as a forum for discussion of internal control issues and contributes to the Board's review of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control and risk management systems and processes. The committee also considers whether a need for an internal audit function is present. It advises the Board on the appointment of external auditors and on their remuneration for both audit and non-audit work, and discusses the nature and scope of the audit with the external auditors. The committee, which meets at least twice a year, provides a forum for reporting by the Group's external auditors. Meetings are also attended by the Company Secretary, and by invitation, the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive.
