Board leadership is more than the presence of a unique skill, perspective or diversity of thought that will meet the organization’s needs and close its gaps. Board members represent the company at its highest level, and they should continually and proactively assess risk tolerance and set clear expectations for management’s execution of strategy and reporting on relevant key performance indicators.
From oversight of enterprise risk management to audit quality, compliance, internal controls and the integrity of financial and nonfinancial reporting, we help directors stay apprised of new rules and regulations to bolster investor confidence in capital markets.
