firms with strong boards and with a higher proportion of non-executive directors are more likely to establish a risk committee
to ensure that the company's internal control systems are functioning properly and helps the board to be aware of potential risks.
ethics committee
An ethics committee is a board subcommittee that may be established by a company to ensure a strong organizational ethic
