About the Seminar

Having a majority of independent directors on the board is standard in many markets around the world and considered a best practice. The norm is encouraged by international guidelines for corporate governance and recent regulatory initiatives.

In this seminar, we examine whether these independent directors actually deliver on the promise of providing a valuable service to shareholders, or if they contribute to the complexities of modern corporate governance.
