The Board has constituted three committees: the Audit and Risk Committee, Human Resources Committee and Safety, Security and Environmental Committee to assist it with the discharge of its corporate governance responsibilities. The terms of reference of committees are reviewed at least annually and the committees are appropriately constituted, considering the relevant skills and expertise and objectives of the SACAA. The constitution of committees is also referred to in the Civil Aviation Act. The effectiveness of the performance of the Board, its committees, individual directors, and the Chairman is assessed every second year. The SACAA is satisfied that the evaluation process improves the Board’s performance and effectiveness. The contribution of directors is considered to determine whether directors still have sufficient time to fulfil their responsibilities with care, skill and diligence and are free from conflict of interest. While retaining overall accountability, and subject to matters reserved for itself, the Board has delegated authority to the Director of Civil Aviation to run the day-to-day affairs of the SACAA, subject to a delegation of authority framework. The delegation of authority framework sets out authority thresholds and governs the delegation of key decisions to management. It is reviewed annually to ensure relevance.
