Opponents of a controversial FIA proposal that would limit the effectiveness of its auditing and ethics committees hope those voting on the matter next week will realise it is “not good governance”
Opponents of the controversial FIA proposal are hoping that those voting next week will recognize it as “not good governance”. The FIA General Assembly will vote on revisions to its statutes on December 13, which could limit the power of the ethics and audit committees while diminishing the compliance officer’s responsibilities. These changes, designed to restrict accountability within the FIA, have raised concerns about President Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s oversight. David Richards, chairman of Motorsport UK, emphasized the importance of upholding sporting governance. The proposed revisions would limit the ethics committee’s investigative powers and take away the audit committee’s independence, prompting criticism from various sources within the FIA and Formula 1 community.
