For those aiming to be non-executive directors

Regulatory and legal requirements have increased scrutiny on how well organisations in all sectors are governed. A key aspect of this is the role of non-executive directors (‘NEDs’). NEDs have an increasing responsibility to bring more skills and experience to the Boardroom ensuring that they provide an appropriate level of stewardship and challenge in an ever-complex landscape. This practical and interactive course provides delegates with the essential knowledge and understanding to discharge these responsibilities. It gives an up-to-date review of best corporate governance practices.
