Trencon Construction is committed to the principles of integrity, accountability and transparency as set out in
the King Report on Corporate Governance in South Africa, 2002. The Board The Board consists of five Directors, and meets fortnightly on a formal basis. It is responsible for setting strategy, determining investment policy, reviewing quarterly performance in detail against previously approved budgets and identifying and monitoring risk areas. Trencon Construction complies with the mandatory requirement of having a Chairman as well as a Chief Executive Officer, with separate functions within the Company. Remuneration Committee The Board has established a Remuneration Committee, which consists of all five Executive Directors. It is
responsible for determining the remuneration packages and conditions of employment of the Executive Directors and staff complement.
Audit and Risk Management Committees
The Audit Committee consists of two Executive Directors.Both the head of the internal audit department and the external audit partners have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. With a small Board of Directors, Trencon Construction believes that the creation of a Nomination Committee would be giving precedence to substance over form. However, the Board regularly reviews the appropriateness of its size and how best it can perform its duties. The Risk Management Committee consists of all five Executive Directors. The Committee reports to the Board on a regular basis setting out its evaluations of the risks faced by the Company and the recommended strategies for mitigating the impact thereof on the Company. Responsibility for risk identification, evaluation and management remains with the Board.
