Tag: Non-executive director (NED)

We have released a research report investigating the processes for recruiting, selecting and appointing non-executive directors in South Africa. The report is structured to offer practical assistance to prospective non-executives who want to understand what organisations are looking for, and what the processes leading up an appointment are. It also offers guidance for nominations committees.

Non-executive directors (NEDs) are responsible for making critical strategic decisions and for overseeing the management of a company without the benefit of observing the business on a full-time basis. This requires particular skills, knowledge, experience and business judgement, for which they need to be fairly remunerated.
