Corporate Governance
Updated: December 2022
The Board is fully committed to investing in the management systems and appropriate controls to ensure that the Group’s high standard of corporate governance is reflective of the quality of its operations and service.
The Directors recognise the importance of sound corporate governance commensurate with the size and nature of the Company and the interests of its shareholders.
The Quoted Companies Alliance has published a corporate governance code for small and mid-sized quoted companies, which includes a standard of minimum best practice for AIM companies, and recommendations for reporting corporate governance matters (the “QCA Code”). Kinovo Plc has formally adopted the QCA Code and our disclosures against each of the principles can be found in our QCA Code Corporate Governance Statement linked below.
