The shareholders in AMK are Concern Worldwide (Dublin) and Concern Worldwide UK. AMK’s shareholders appoint the Directors. In turn, the Board of Directors appoints the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Concern Worldwide, as the shareholder, supports AMK by ensuring that the following critical success factors are in place: visionary management and board; a commitment to staff development; a strong credit discipline; and innovative-responsive product development.

The Board of Directors has five standing committees: Audit and Finance Committee, Risk Committee, Remuneration Committee, Nomination Committee, and Social Performance Committee. The Social Performance Committee, which advises the Board on AMK’s social performance in terms of poverty outreach, product suitability, client protection, and overall social responsibility, was established and began functioning in 2006. Most committees have external experts as members in addition to Directors.

AMK’s management brings together experienced professionals from microfinance and related backgrounds. The CEO heads the management team, which at the moment includes ten departments (Operations, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Inspections/ Internal Audit, Training, Marketing, Research, Risk and Compliance, and Product Development.)
