This is a service specifically targeted at the needs of busy non-executive directors. We aim to give you a “heads up” on the things that matter for NEDs in the week ahead - all in two minutes or less. 

In this Edition, we consider the AICD and Governance Institute’s new report, the Senate Select Committee on Financial Technology and Regulatory Technology’s recommendations, the extension of temporary COVID-19 insolvency relief for directors of operating companies and changes to FIRB thresholds relating to certain commercial leases. We also consider indigenous and community relations as an emerging AGM issue following executive changes at Rio Tinto.
