Corporate Governance
Board of Directors
Our board of directors is responsible for corporate governance and oversight of our firm. The board discharges some of its responsibilities directly and discharges others through committees. The board is not responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of our firm, as this responsibility has been delegated to management. The board is, however, responsible for supervising management in carrying out this responsibility.

Our board of directors endorses the principle that our corporate governance practices are a fundamental part of our proper functioning as a corporate entity. Our board believes that these corporate governance practices enhance the interests of our shareholders, employees and of others dealing with us.
