• Directors' duties and recommendations, including on the number of directorships;
• Director training and independent directors;
• Remuneration and nomination committee;
• Corporate governance committee;
• Audit committee;
• Management accounts;
• Shareholders' general meetings;
• Voting by poll; and 
• Appointment and removal of auditors.
