Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited has approved updated rules of procedure for its Board Audit Committee, defining its mandate to oversee risk management, financial reporting processes and the internal control system, and to review annual, interim and quarterly financial reports as well as the appointment and remuneration of external auditors. The new rules formalize committee composition and independence requirements, including a minimum of three non-executive directors with a majority being independent and at least one accounting professional, set meeting frequency at least quarterly with strict quorum and proxy rules, and require at least annual meetings with external auditors without executive directors present, reinforcing corporate governance and audit oversight for stakeholders.

The procedures specify that the Audit Committee chair must be an independent non-executive director with accounting expertise, and that a former partner of the current auditing firm is barred from committee membership for two years after leaving the firm or ending financial ties. They also assign the company secretary as committee secretary, detail how meetings may be convened by the chair, members, or auditors, and emphasize written delegation when members cannot attend in person, aiming to strengthen transparency, independence and rigor in Shanghai Electric’s audit and risk supervision framework.
