Board responsibility – ‘a difficult balancing act’

Published in Governance, August 2015 Issue 254

A new Report looks at the increasing demands and pressures on non-execs, considers whether too much is expected from them and looks at increasing problems recruiting non-execs into the financial services sector.

‘With shareholders demanding more and more transparency and accountability, the non-executive director (non-exec) has had to come out of the shadows and become more obviously a guardian of corporate governance’, according to a report published by Tyzack Partners with Advanced Boardroom Excellence. The report, Walking the Tightrope of Board Responsibility – a Difficult Balancing Act, looks at the increasing demands and pressures on non-execs, considers whether too much is expected from them and looks at likely increasing problems recruiting non-execs into the financial services sector in the future.
