"BOARD EFFECTIVENESS: REDEFINING THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR "
19 Aug, 04 Nov & 09 Dec 2009 (1/2 day p.m.)
The office of a director is compared in relation to the Company as an entity, the role and responsibility towards the stakeholders and with the expectations of his peers. The many facets of how a director is expected to act in relation to the seas of legislations that surround the creature managed by him and the reactions of the public and regulators are often highlighted in court’s cases.

Depending on his position, his roles reflect the level of integrity, modesty, independence and knowledge that may be required of him to deliver his judgement in the management of the Company in order to arrive at a balanced board. These traits will reflect the degree of accountability, good corporate governance and transparency of management, resulting in high level of compliance in form as well as in substance.

One of the biggest challenges that a director faces would be keeping out conflict of interests during office. Consequently these could give rise to public confidence and could spur the growth of the Company to prosperity.
