Committees
An Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee have been established with formally delegated duties and responsibilities. The members of both committees are the non executive Directors.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee which determines the engagement of the Company’s
auditors and, in consultation with them, the scope of their audit. The
Audit Committee receives and reviews reports from management and the
auditors relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting
and internal control systems in use by the company. It has unrestricted
access to the auditors. The Board and the Audit Committee review the
need for an internal audit function on an annual basis and currently do
not consider it to be necessary at this stage in the Company’s
development. The Directors acknowledge their responsibilities for the
Group’s system of internal financial controls. They have not, during the
period ended 31st December 2006, carried out a formal annual review of
internal financial controls in view of the small size of the Board and
employees. The Group’s financial reporting arrangements are designed to
provide the Directors with reasonable assurance that problems are
identified on a timely basis and dealt with appropriately. The Board
considers that the business is a going concern, having reviewed
anticipated future expenditure in the context of available cash
balances.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee reviews the scale and structure of the
executive Directors’ remuneration and benefits and the terms of their
service contracts. The remuneration of the non-executive directors is
determined by the Board as a whole. The committee has formal terms of
reference and meets at least twice a year. It is the duty of the
committee, inter alia, to determine and agree with the Board the
framework or broad policy for the remuneration of the Company’s
executive board members. This policy is currently being developed but
the remuneration package for executive directors will comprise basic
salary, pension contribution, annual bonus and share options. The
remuneration packages are designed to motivate and retain Executive
Directors to ensure the continuing development of the company and to
reward them for enhancing value to shareholders.
