Selection
Selection of professional directors to supervisory boards
The formation of an effective board of directors remains one of the most discussed aspects of corporate governance in the investment community and among regulatory bodies. The main attention is paid to the issue of balancing the composition of the management board, primarily in terms of its independence, professionalism and the availability of the necessary level of diversity to implement the strategy and ensure sustainable development.
The process of selecting, nominating and electing directors plays a key role in ensuring the independence and optimal set of experience, knowledge and skills of members of the Board of Directors. The Institute's experts have considerable experience in the selection of independent directors for leading enterprises in Central Asia and are open to dialogue and cooperation.
Improving the efficiency of boards of directors in the interests of growth
Corporate governance standards are constantly evolving, and companies are challenged to comply with these as a key condition for successful development at both local and international levels. To assess the extent to which a company’s board is effective and compliant, the Institute provides services in the area of independent assessment of boards of directors.
This type of project involves assessing how effectively a board is working, how to strengthen trust in the board on the part of shareholders and other stakeholders, how to assure achievement of strategic goals, and how to organise the board’s activities most efficiently. Additionally, the independent assessment focuses on board dynamics, a culture on constructive discussion, increasing the level of involvement of directors, as well as on compliance of the practice of the Board with regional and international standards.
External evaluation has become an attribute of a modern company
Regulators, investors and partners want to make sure that the Board of Directors plays an important role in shaping the future of risk management and ensuring the sustainability of their companies
