Governance

Our Board members have overall responsibility for Poplar HARCA.

They may delegate to others, such as to Committees and the Corporate Management Team, but they still retain the ultimate responsibility for all actions taken in Poplar HARCA’s name.

They also decide the overall aims and objectives of Poplar HARCA and ensure that the organisation is meeting these and keeping within its legal, financial and moral obligations.

We are currently recruiting for the Audit & Risk Committee. Click the buttons below to find out more.

All Board and Committee members declare any potential or perceived conflicts of interests. These are available upon request.
