Publisher's Synopsis
Corporate governance is under the media spotlight, with the Hempel and Cadbury reports attracting headline news. As a result, there is now even more pressure on company boards to govern impeccably. The appointment of NEDs is a key strategic decision which will hopefully bring competent management and independent policing to the board. So its correct execution is vital.
This broad new report avoids rhetoric and provides a balanced account of how NED's may help or hinder a company.
Contents include:
- What is a NED?
- Why are NEDs suddenly so important?
- What are the potential benefits and drawbacks?
