■ The existence and nature of a risk management system.
■ A reference to the company’s code on corporate governance.12
In August 2006, the SEC issued its final rules to expand its requirements
of corporate governance disclosures.13 These consolidated disclosure requirements
include board meetings and committees; particular disclosures regarding audit,
nominating, and compensation committees; and a narrative description of the
company’s procedures for determining director and executive compensation, related
person transactions, director independence, and other corporate governance matters.
Previous rules required disclosures of nominating and audit committees; this rule
requires the same disclosure of the compensation committee, including:
■ The scope of authority of the compensation committee.
■ The extent to which the compensation committee may delegate any authority
to other persons, specifying what authority may be so delegated and to whom.
■ If their authority is set out in a charter or other document, and where to access it.
■ Any executive officers who have a say in the compensation committee’s agenda.
■ The role of any consultants and who hired them.
■ The independence of each member.14
In addition to the aforementioned items, the corporate governance report should
include:
■ The company’s objectives and management visions to achieve these objectives.
■ Summary of financial position and results of operations.
■ Compensation policy for directors and officers including shareholder advisory
vote on executive pay.
■ Board committees’ policies, procedures, and disclosures.
■ Significant issues relevant to employees and other stakeholders.
■ Corporate governance structure including aspects, principles, and functions.
■ Material information on sustainability performance of multiple bottom lines in
areas of economic, ethical, social, and environmental activities.
■ Company’s initiatives on risk management including foreseeable risk factors
and responses.
■ The company’s voting system (majority versus plurality).
■ Duality of CEO positions or separation of the positions of the independent
chair of the board and the CEO.
■ The percentage of independent directors.
■ The number of meetings of the board of directors and its committees.
■ The annual evaluation of the board of directors, its committees, and the
committee members.
■ The company’s compliance with corporate governance reforms including SOX,
SEC-related rules, exchange listing standards, and best practices.
■ The company’s code of conduct and ethics for directors, officers, and all other
key personnel.
