CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The global financial system is recovering from one of the most difficult periods in history. It is widely believed that some of these negative occurrences could have been averted if boards were a little more “hands-on” and better structured than they were. As a result, a greater emphasis is being placed on the corporate governance in financial institutions as well as other industries, in order to revitalize economies across the globe and position companies for long-term and sustainable growth. The board of SCMC Group is populated by highly qualified individuals that understand the importance of corporate governance and has made significant efforts to put structures in place to help ensure adherence to strict corporate governance guidelines with a view to transforming Constellation Capital into the pre-eminent financial services group in Nigeria.

Board Composition

The Board is populated by individuals who have accomplished success in their professions and business and have the right kind of professional qualifications and experience. The members of the Board are individuals that do not hold multiple directorships in other companies which could potentially affect their independence, objectivity, judgement and ability to discharge their responsibilities to the Board and the company. The Board of Directors is be led by the Chairman, whose role is distinguished from that of the Chief Executive.  The Board is made up of one executive director, two non-executive directors and one independent director. The membership of the Board would be a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of ten (10) members.
