With the role of directors and overall board performance to the forefront of contemporary corporate governance debates, this book provides much needed guidance on the law, regulation and best practice relating to the structure, operation and performance of boards of directors. "The ICSA Handbook of Good Boardroom Practice, 2nd edition" combines an overview of the legal and regulatory environment in which companies operate with practical guidance on implementing best practice to comply with the Combined Code. Topics covered include: board composition, structures and relationships; the role of non-executive directors; executive remuneration; board performance evaluation; and relations with auditors, shareholders and other key stakeholders.
Fully revised and updated to take account of experience with the implementation of the 2003 Combined Code and the Turnbull guidance on internal control, this indispensable guide for directors and company secretaries examines: the prospects for statutory change arising from the Company Law Reform Bill; international influences on the UK's approach to corporate governance, including EU legislation and the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and the changing expectations on companies and their directors in areas such as business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Good practice guidance, checklists and comprehensive source materials are included.
