Risk Management Review – the Finance, Audit and Risk Management (FARM) committee are required to report at board meetings on internal controls. The FARM committee pay particular attention to risk management. It is the CEO’s responsibility to brief the directors periodically and as appropriate on the development of policies and procedures to ensure effective and efficient operations, risk management strategies and implementation. In addition, the FARM committee oversees internal audit, external audit and management as required in its review of internal controls. The committee is therefore well placed to provide advice to the board on the effectiveness of the internal control system, including MacVille’s strategy for the management of risk.
