From ACGA's web site: In mid-April, ACGA submitted our response to the December 17, 2010 Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) consultation paper on proposed changes to the Code on Corporate Governance Practices and certain Listing Rules related to corporate governance.
ACGA analysed and offered responses on nine issues:
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.
We agreed with most of the proposals we responded to, although we recommended that some should be reworded or further expanded on.
ACGA's submission is available on the data library at:
