Board Functionality: Leading Practice Guide for Directors and Company Secretaries to Improve Their Board Processes

The fallout of the global financial crisis of 2008 brought to the fore the need for boards to govern more. Many corporate failures and corporate crisis both at home and abroad, most of which seemed avoidable, have raised the profile of board governance and regulators are now more eager than ever to hold the board accountable for its responsibilities.
