The role of a NED
The role of a NEDThe role of a non executive director is to make a creative contribution to the business by providing independent insight and constructive challenge to both members of the board and the executive team.
It’s widely accepted that NEDs have an important contribution to make to the proper running of companies.
There are a growing number of private companies, including relatively small ones, that are now actively searching for the ‘right’ NED to attend board meetings.
It’s crucial that NEDs are independent from the company’s day to day operations.
They bring objectivity to the board’s deliberations, particularly in areas such as business performance, risk and potential liabilities management, the interpretation of financial information, and the effectiveness of the management team.
NEDs are usually selected because they have a breadth of experience, are of an appropriate calibre, and have particular personal qualities. They may also have specialist knowledge that will provide the board of directors and executive team with valuable insights or perhaps, key contacts in related industries.
