Around the world, the role of the board is evolving in response to corporate governance objectives. In the Middle East, businesses are seeking to achieve a fine balance between policing and partnering, as family-owned businesses transform themselves into public corporations. Businesses are also keen to empower boards and clarify their roles in the organisation.

Concurrently, members of the board must be adept with the principles of risk management, compliance, succession planning and good governance. Directors must be responsible for maximizing shareholder value, managing corporate conflicts, ensuring that the company acts in a socially responsible manner, and safeguarding the interests of the company and its stakeholders.

Mudara IOD will also offer a range of customised education and training in affiliation with its partner institutes.
