* retired directors + new directors ^ directors are not standing members of the Committee but still attended. Formal Committee membership is detailed on the previous page. External audit The OAG appoints external auditors annually, following consultation with the Board. External audit’s primary line of communication with Airways is through the Audit and Finance Committee (AFC), who review: the proposed audit scope and approach (to ensure there have been no restrictions placed on it); the results of the audit and management’s responses to audit findings; and the auditors’ performance. External auditors are required to maintain independence from Airways and this is reviewed by the AFC continuously through the audit cycle. Lead audit partners are also rotated every six years, in line with OAG requirements. Annually, the Board meet the external auditors without management present to ensure they have no issues or concerns the Board needs to be made aware of. Safety, internal audit and assurance The Safety and Assurance team provides the CEO and Board with assurance that Airways is meeting its governance and operational requirements, and that risks are managed through planning and delivering the annual audit programme. They are also responsible for championing practise improvements across Airways that deliver increases to business performance, financial performance and/or stakeholder satisfaction. The Safety and Assurance team is also responsible for providing an effective Safety Management System (SMS) that allows the business to manage operational and people safety on a risk prioritised basis. The team, utilising the SMS, provides assurance to the Board, CEO and business that safety risks are being effectively and appropriately managed. Management, with support from the Safety and Assurance team, are responsible for developing and supporting a just, free and open reporting culture within Airways. Remuneration The Board and management are committed to remuneration practices that are fair, transparent and appropriate, and which contribute to strong governance and company performance. This starts with the Board People, Culture & Capability Committee (whose responsibilities are outlined above) and is captured in Airways’ Remuneration Policy. Director remuneration is fixed at levels agreed with the Shareholder on an annual basis. Levels of remuneration are set out in the Additional Financial Information section above.
