As corporate board agenda becomes more demanding (pressures coming from regulatory bodies /shareholders /stakeholders), boards need to operate effectively, efficiently and decisively.  Board committees provide a pedestal for boards to deal with specific and technical issues that require specialised areas of expertise and experience to give them the right level of oversight.

The programme will cover the topic of how the overall board governance roles and responsibilities are associated with the understanding of the oversight framework for the various types of board committees as well as their review outcomes/assurance. It will also offer better insights on the cross functional board committees information sharing, in managing organisational risks cohesively.

Learning Outcomes

• Assess the basis of board committee structure
• Identify the function of each board committee
• Determine the direction of committees in order not to overshadow the Board
