Board Evaluation

The UK Corporate Governance Code (2010) recommends that Large Listed Companies should conduct externally facilitated board evaluations at least once every three years. Many listed companies, large private companies and public bodies are also undertaking formal and rigorous reviews of the board and its committees.

We provide board evaluation services that:

• benchmark board practices against national and sectoral performance metrics
• assess the balance of skills and expertise within the board;
• identify attributes required for any new appointment to the board;
• consider the effectiveness of the board's decision making processes;
• recognise the board's outputs and achievements;
• review practices and procedures to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Board evaluation services are provided to:

• Listed companies
• Unlisted companies
• Family Businesses
• State owned enterprises
• Banks and Financial Institutions
• Sovereign Wealth Funds and National Investment Authorities
• Islamic Financial Institutions
• Not for profit organisations
• Professional and other membership organisations

Examples include:

• An evaluation of the board of an International Stock Exchange
• An evaluation of the board of a National Public Authority
