New Governance Model for Reporting to Boards
"Often directors are reluctant to agree to receive less
information. They feel they need to know.
I think it's a mistake, because ultimately boards will be
footed with liability for those smoking guns that might be
buried in the bottom of a 50-page report that no director
has enough time to absorb in the time available and
review critically.
We've worked hard to reduce the amount of material and
keep it focused on the strategic, important issues."
New Governance Model for Reporting to Boards
“Far too much in too many papers, and far too much of it not focused on board-level policy land strategy".
"There was a great tendency to feed up to the board far too much detail for want of knowing what the right balance was between the role of board, management and the risks involved.
In the last year I've worked with the executives to refine and reduce the amount of material. Literally we were being swamped with paper."
Graham Bradley, Chairman, Stocklands, HSBC (Aust), Director, Singtel and Queensland Investment Corp
A leading company director say some Australian boards are now limiting the amount of information they allow to "filter up" from management and the committee processes on corporate governance issues, leaving more time for the directors to concentrate on what really matters - strategy.
GO FOR IT!!!

EY ‘MEASURES THAT MATTER’“In today’s volatile markets, a company’s non-financial performance, namely its ability to identify, demonstrate and communicate value in its intangibles, future growth platforms and strategic options, is a key differentiator for investors, almost irrespective of short-term cashflows and tangible assets. And the greater the uncertainty, the greater the significance of non-financials to investors’ decision-making as leading indicators of future financial performance.”
EY ‘MEASURES THAT MATTER’The Top Ten MTM: (in order)1. Execution of Corporate Strategy2. Quality of Corporate Strategy3. Market Position4. Management Credibility5. Innovativeness6.
