GUIDED TOUR CORPORATE

Independent Directors are expected to play a significant role at the Board level and be the change agents of corporate governance. Conventionally, Independent Directors have played a monitoring and advisory role. This is the starting point for their effectiveness and requires basic knowledge of statutes (e.g., companies law). However, in order to be the drivers of change in corporate boards, Independent Directors require a set of distinct skills and, most important, the attitude to make independent judgments. This portal aims to refresh basic knowledge, upgrade the skills of Independent Directors and inculcate the right attitude.
