Board of Directors
A Board of Directors governs Grain Foods CRC. The Board consists of representatives from core participants as well as independent directors. A majority of the directors represent companies whose main business activities are of a commercial rather than a research nature. Committees have been established to perform specific functions in relation to the company’s operations - namely the Audit & Compliance Committee and the Investment Review Committee.
The Audit & Compliance Committee (ACC) meets several times a year to ensure compliance with the principles of good corporate governance and maintenance of auditing and legal requirements.
The Investment Review Committee's (IRC) charter is to provide recommendations to the Board on the optimum use of CRC funds to ensure the research and commercialisation portfolio meets company's strategic goals.
