CGOV.5:4.2 - Define remit and relation to the responsible organ

Specify the matters covered, the questions to examine, the expected return and its timing. Establish what the committee may request, investigate, recommend or decide. Distinguish a power it actually holds from a proposed delegation.

Name the recipient’s response: consider a recommendation, make a reserved decision, remedy an information gap or act on a material exception. State how an urgent or unresolved matter reaches that recipient.

Coordinate overlaps with other committees. One body may examine financial consequences while another examines technical exposure. Identify which result each needs from the other and who reconciles their implications for the corporate decision.
