The Board appoints the Chairmen and the members of the Committees. 

Audit Committee

The role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in ensuring that the company's accounting and its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner and that the company has a comprehensive and adequate internal control system for all its operations. The committee is also responsible for monitoring that the company’s operations and internal monitoring are organized as required by the laws, regulations and good management and governance system, and for supervising the operation of the internal audit.
