PRINCIPLE A: BOARD LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVENESS I. Board Responsibilities The Board has the overall responsibility for the corporate governance, strategic leadership and direction, the conduct of the Group’s businesses, risk management and internal controls, investor relations, management succession plan and business operations of the Group. Beyond the matters reserved for the Board’s decision, the Board has delegated the authority to achieve the corporate objectives and day-to-day management of the business of the Group to the Executive Committee comprising the Executive Deputy Chairman, the President & Group Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director. There is a formalised Limits of Authority which defines the applicable limits specifically reserved for the Board’s approval and those delegated to the Executive Committee, the President & Group Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Directors and Management. The Executive Directors remain accountable to the Board for the authority that is delegated to them for the performance of the Group. While the Board is responsible for creating framework and policies within which the Group should be operating, the Management is accountable for the execution of the expressed policies and attainment of the Company’s corporate objectives. This demarcation complements and reinforces the supervisory role of the Board. The roles of the Chairman and the President & Group Chief Executive Officer are distinct and separate to engender accountability to facilitate clear division of responsibilities. The Chairman is responsible for ensuring Board effectiveness and standards of conduct while the President & Group Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the overall management of the Group, including smooth running of the businesses and implementation of strategies and policies. In carrying out its function, the Board has delegated specific responsibilities to Board Committees, namely, the Audit and Risk Management Committee (“ARMC”) and the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“BNRC”). In order to ensure that the direction and control of the Group remains with the Board, the Board has defined the terms of reference for each Committee and receives reports from the Board Committees of their proceedings and deliberations together with their recommendations and relevant decisions. The Chairman of the respective Board Committees will report to the Board on the outcome of these meetings. These Board Committees were formed in order to enhance business and operational efficiency and efficacy but the Board remains fully responsible for the direction and control of the Company and the Group. The ultimate responsibility for the final decision on all matters, lies with the Board. The terms of reference for the ARMC and the BNRC can be found on the Company’s website (www.enra.my ).
