The Board’s Corporate Governance Role

A board of directors has a vital corporate governance role to ensure that the company operates lawfully and in the best interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. This is a role that requires independence of management and focusing on the company’s major issues rather than the day-today operations.

The board is responsible for the company’s strategies and operations and policies, setting the policy, managing risks and taking other decisions that are its responsibility. It also decides on and oversees the performance of the CEO and the succession planning process for the CEO, and it establishes the company’s mission and culture.

It also protects the interests of shareholders, makes sure that financial data is properly reported and makes certain that investors receive all the information that could affect their holdings. It also takes steps to protect the integrity and reputation of the business and to prevent fraud. It should encourage ongoing training of directors, specifically on new technologies, crucial issues like environmental Governance, Social and Governance (ESG), and global crises that affect how businesses operate.

A well-formed committee structure, which includes secretary and chair, plays a critical role in the effective management. It is important to foster an environment of collaboration and open communication among all members of the committee. The secretary of the committee will establish the agenda, take minutes of meetings and distribute them to members of the committee.

A committee should have the confidence to rely on the advice of its advisors and their reports, advice, and opinions. It is crucial that the committee understand who these advisors are and to evaluate their qualifications.
