In keeping with good governance, the Board has established a number of Committees, which are also attended by members of the Motorsport Australia Board. These Committees differ from the CEO created Committees that provide advisory assistance to the CEO on sporting matters.
The oversight function of corporate governance is performed by the Motorsport Australia Board and its designated committees. Board committee formations and assignments depend on the requirements of Motorsport Australia, its Board, and assumed responsibilities.
Committee members address relevant issues and make recommendations to the entire Board for final approval. Board committees normally function independently from each other and are provided with sufficient authority, resources, and assigned responsibilities in assisting the entire Board.
