Board Committees The Board as a whole is responsible for all work undertaken on its behalf by committees. The Board holds committees accountable for assisting them in fulfilling their corporate governance responsibilities by ensuring appropriate oversight over committee work. This is done through approval of committee Terms of Reference, appointment of committee members and assurance that the required technical skills and competencies are present at individual committee levels. Based on the self-assessment and reflection of each committee, it was deemed they have discharged their duties as outlined in their Terms of Reference and 2021 work plans.
