International Assets Holding Corporation
The Company is committed to high standards of corporate governance and has put in
place a framework that fosters good governance, is practical for a company of this
size and satisfies our current listing and regulatory requirements.
Executives
The Company has instituted a Code of Ethics that demands honest and ethical
conduct from all employees. Specific topics covered are conflicts of interest, fair
dealing, compliance with regulation and accurate financial reporting. The roles
of Chairman and CEO are split. The CEO and CFO make all necessary representations
to satisfy regulatory and listing requirements. Executive compensation is determined
by a Compensation Committee composed exclusively of non-executive directors.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors consists of two executive and five non-executive
directors, four of whom are independent. All directors are subject to annual retirement and re-election. The Board
oversees the strategy, finances, operation and regulatory compliance of the Company
through quarterly meetings (more frequently as required). The roles of Chairman
and CEO are split. A supermajority of directors or shareholders is required to change
the Chairman. The non-executive directors regularly meet independently from the
executive directors. The Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees are each
composed of three non-executive directors and have no executive director members.
The Audit Committee includes a financial expert.
Financial Reporting and Internal Control
The Company strives to present clear, accurate and timely financial statements.
Management has a system of internal controls in place, regularly assesses the
effectiveness of these controls and modifies them as necessary. Risk management
is an important aspect of this system of internal controls and management has
established a Risk Committee to establish and continuously monitor conformance
with risk policies.

The Company seeks to provide accurate and timely information to shareholders
and other stakeholders to facilitate a better understanding of the Company and its
