BOARD BALANCE AND INDEPENDENCE The Board at Group level is the ultimate decision making body and supported by the respective Boards of Directors of the Group’s subsidiary companies. There are 10 members of the Board, comprising an Executive Director (who is also the Group Managing Director) and 9 Non-Executive Directors (including the Chairman). Four of the Non-Executive Directors are independent and hence fulfil the prescribed requirements for one-third of the membership of the Board to be Independent Board Members. The Board comprises members of high calibre and integrity from diverse professional backgrounds, skills, extensive experience and knowledge required for the successful direction of the Group. With its diversity of skills, the Board has been able to provide clear and effective collective leadership to the Group and has brought informed and independent judgement to the Group’s strategy and performance to ensure that the highest standards of conduct and integrity are always at the core of the Group. None of the Non-Executive Directors participate in the day-to-day management of the Group. The presence of the Independent Non-Executive Directors is essential in providing unbiased and impartial opinion, advice and judgment to Board deliberations to ensure that the interests, not only of the Group, but also of its shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers and other communities in which the Group conducts its business are well represented and taken into account. The Independent Non-Executive Directors thus play a key role in corporate accountability. As recommended by MCCG 2012, the tenure of Directorship should also form part of the assessment criteria for independence of a Director. The relevant process and procedures have been provided for in the terms of reference of the NC. In the event that shareholders’ approval is sought to enable an independent director to retain his designation as an independent director after having served a tenure of nine years, the NC is tasked to assess and assist the Board in recommending and providing justification for shareholders’ consideration and approval in such instances. A brief description of the background of each Director is contained in the “Board of Directors Profiles” section as set out on pages 72 to 81 of this Annual Report. Division of Roles and Responsibilities between the Chairman and the Group Managing Director The Board has always upheld the stand that the positions of Chairman and Group Managing Director do not reside with the same person. This division ensures that there is a clear and proper balance of power and authority. Hence, the roles and duties of the Chairman and Group Managing Director are made clear in the Board Charter. The Chairman’s main responsibility is to ensure effective conduct of the Board and that all Directors, both Executive and Non- Executive, have unrestricted and timely access to all relevant information necessary for informed decisionmaking. The Chairman encourages participation and deliberation by all Board members to enable the wisdom of all the Board members to be tapped and to promote consensus building as much as possible. 91 NCB HOLDINGS BHD STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Group Managing Director has overall responsibilities over the Group’s operational and business units, organisational effectiveness and implementation of Board policies, directives, strategies and decisions. As the Group is expanding and its business growing, the division of authority is constantly reviewed to maintain the best levels of management efficiency and performance. The Board is guided by the Board Charter and the Board Charter is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure its continuous applicability. 4.
