The Board has direct access to corporate governance advice and compliance services through the company secretary, who is responsible for ensuring that board procedures are followed and compliance requirements are met.

The Board is responsible to shareholders for the proper management of the Company and aims to meet at least quarterly. It has formally adopted a schedule of matters which must be brought to it for decision, thus ensuring that it maintains full and effective control over appropriate strategic, financial, operational and compliance issues.

The Board has established an ongoing process for the identification, evaluation and management of the significant risks faced by the Company. The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the Company’s internal control systems and for reviewing their effectiveness. Internal controls are designed to manage the particular needs of the Company and the risks to which it is exposed. The internal control systems aim to ensure the maintenance of proper accounting records, the reliability of the financial information on which business decisions are made and which is used for publication, and that the assets of the Company are safeguarded. They can by their nature provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The financial controls operated by the Board include regular reviews of both the financial results and investment performance.

The Board has delegated to third parties the provision of: investment management services; legal and VCT status advisory services; day-to-day accounting, company secretarial and administration services; and share registration services.

Each of these contracts was entered into after full and proper consideration by the Board of the quality and cost of services offered. The Board receives and considers regular reports from the investment manager.

Ad hoc reports and information are supplied to the Board as required. The Board keeps under review the terms of the agreement with the investment manager.

The process adopted by the Board for identifying, evaluating and managing the risks faced by Edge Performance VCT includes an annual review of the control systems. The review covers a consideration of the significant risks in each of five areas: statutory and regulatory compliance, financial reporting, investment strategy, investment performance and reputation.

Each risk is considered with regard to; the likelihood of occurrence, the probable impact on Edge Performance VCT and the controls exercised at source, through reporting and at Board level.

The Board is responsible for the determination and calculation of the net asset value of Edge Performance VCT, which is undertaken quarterly and included in the announcement of annual results of Edge Performance VCT, half-year results of Edge Performance VCT and interim management statements.
