Board Committees
Permanent committees
The Board of Directors has established two committees: an Audit Committee and a HR and Nomination Committee. The committees function in accordance with standing orders confirmed by the Board of Directors and they report to the Board of Directors. The committees have no independent decision-making power. Their task is to enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors’ work by preparing matters for decision by the Board of Directors and General Meetings of Shareholders.
The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee supervises the Company’s financial reporting and prepares matters for the Board of Directors relating to monitoring the financial situation, auditing and risk management. In order to fulfil its task, the Audit Committee follows the trend in SRV’s financial situation, listens to the auditors, reviews drafts of the financial statements and interim reports, and monitors the effectiveness of internal control, internal auditing and risk management systems. In addition, the Audit Committee prepares the selection of the auditor for presentation to the Annual General Meeting.
The Audit Committee consists of 2-3 members, whom the members of the Board of Directors elect from among their number. Two members can be appointed to the committee if the Board of Directors considers this appropriate in view of the structure and number of members of the Board.
In 2021, Heli Iisakka chaires the Audit Committee. In 2021, the Audit Committee also consists of Hannu Leinonen and Timo Kokkila.
