Abstract

Codes of best practice have had a great deal of positive impact on boards, directors becoming more active and empowered, taking their jobs more seriously. Boards are not the cosy enclaves they used to be. Directors are getting tough(er) with CEOs today, asking critical questions and demanding answers from management. Moreover, boards face much greater pressure from the public, the government and the shareholders.
