Continuing responsibility of the Board
-
Establishment of the Committee does not free the Board from ultimate responsibility for ensuring the Australian branch of the EFLIC complies with the requirements in, or imposed under, the Act.
-
In recognition of this, the Board must:
(a) have the power to appoint and remove, at its discretion, members of the Committee, as long as certain composition and residency requirements pertaining to the Committee continue to be met (refer to paragraphs 5 to 8);
(b) ensure that the delegation of relevant managerial powers (of the kind referred to in paragraph 16ZF(1)(a) and (b) of the Act) is not irrevocable, and that the Board retains the powers delegated; and
(c) establish adequate procedures for monitoring and supervising the operation of the Committee, as well as assessing its performance.
