The AGCO Board of Directors (the Board) is responsible for the overall governance of the AGCO and meets regularly. In exercising its governance functions, the Board sets goals and develops policy and strategic directions for the Commission to fulfill its mandate; this includes working with the Chief Executive Officer and senior management on regulatory and governance activities.
As part of its governance structure, the Board has two standing committees. These committees are the Finance, Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Strategic Oversight and Governance Committee. The committees are accountable to the Board and provide regular updates at board meetings, highlighting key decision points, areas of substantive discussion and recommendations to the Board.
Finance, Audit and Risk Management Committee
The Finance, Audit and Risk Management Committee is responsible for providing oversight on matters related to financial performance. This committee also provides oversight on cybersecurity, internal audit activities, risk management and emergency management, including internal control systems and annual risk management and audit plans.
Strategic Oversight and Governance Committee
The Strategic Oversight and Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring the agency has an effective governance framework and is carrying out its responsibilities and fulfilling its legislative mandate. In particular, this committee is responsible for monitoring and assessing the agency’s performance against key strategies and objectives and providing strategic oversight with respect to the AGCO’s corporate social responsibility program and human resources strategy.
