TAKE A TOP-DOWN APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
The UK Corporate Governance Code put increased focus on Boards, nomination committees and the Chair in an effort to ensure that there is the right mix of competencies, backgrounds, and behaviours among company directors.
Not only that, the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR) has put corporate culture squarely in the regulatory spotlight. While this regime currently only applies to financial services firms, it is likely that these principles could be adopted by regulators across utilities and similar markets in the near future.
With so much public and regulatory attention on the actions and culture of the Boardroom, it is vital that firms ensure that those at the very highest level of the decision-making process are empowered to make the right decisions.
