We think kitchen tables are better than boardroom tables... which is why we have strong governance behind the scenes.
At Calgary Co-op committees form the backbone of our governance model. The Audit, Governance, Human Resources, Investment and Nominations Committees all provide oversight to the Board’s most complex areas.
The Audit Committee maintains oversight over the financial reporting, internal controls, risk, and internal and external auditing. This typically involves reviewing the financial integrity of Calgary Co-op’s financial statements and financial reporting, and ensuring all financial reporting complies with applicable accounting principles and regulatory requirements. Internal audits may be also completed to find opportunities for improvement.
