Corporate governance

How the Board leads ATW, how its decisions are checked, and the policies that every company in the group follows.

Our approach

Good governance protects the people who rely on us: borrowers, employees and shareholders. We are building ATW to the standards expected of a company listed on the Singapore Exchange.

Our framework follows the principles of the Code of Corporate Governance 2018 and the SGX-ST Listing Manual. The Board is responsible for the group's strategy, risk appetite and values, and for holding management to account. It delegates specific oversight to four committees, each with written terms of reference.

Each subsidiary has its own management team and, where required, its own licences. ATW sets group-wide policies on risk, compliance, conduct and data protection, and every subsidiary reports against them to the Board through its committees.

Our annual report will explain how we have applied the Code, and where we have varied from any provision, why.
