Purpose

This module examines: • The extent of shareholders’ influence over the appointment, re-appointment and removal of directors, as reflected in the powers of the general meeting. • The evolving role and responsibilities of the Nomination Committee, as reflected in the successive codes of corporate governance from Cadbury to 2003 Combined Code. • The strategic and qualitative issues identified by the Higgs Review in relation to succession planning, the terms of directors’ appointments and the diversity of the board.

Benefits

The need for transparent processes for the nomination and appointment of directors is well established as a principle of corporate governance in the UK. This has become more important since recent corporate debacles.
