Board Committees

The Board of Directors has established two committees: an Audit Committee and a Personnel and Remuneration Committee. The committees operate in accordance with the standing orders approved by the Board of Directors, and report to the Board. The committees do not have independent power of decision. Their task is to enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors by preparing matters for decision by the Board and the General Meeting. 

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee follows and assesses the Company's financial and sustainability reporting and prepares matters concerning financial reporting, assessments and risk management for the Board. In order to discharge its tasks, the Audit Committee follows trends in SRV’s financial position, asks questions of the auditors, reviews drafts of the financial statements and interim reports as well as sustainability reports, and monitors the effectiveness of internal control, internal auditing and risk management systems. The Audit Committee also prepares a proposal on remuneration and the election of the Auditor and the verifier for sustainability reporting to be presented to the General Meeting. 

The Audit Committee comprises 2–3 members whom the Board of Directors elects from amongst its number. The majority of the Committee’s members must be independent of the Company, and at least one member must be independent of the Company’s major shareholders.
