Why Your Interest? - As a Director or Board ...

pointing-finger-clipart-black-2814014

If you are a Director or a Board of an International/KSA (SAMA/CMA) organisation, this may affect you directly and personally.

As a Director or collectively as the Board, you have two broad, high-level mandated responsibilities by Regulators:

  1. To ensure proper Governance across and within the Board and organisation.
  2. To ensure appropriate compliance with the respective Corporate Governance Frameworks.

We assist you directly with this Service in assessing your Corporate Governance position, personally in the case of an individual Director, or collectively in the case of a Board, for all Directors individually and the Board as a whole, relative to the International/KSA (SAMA/CMA) requirements of their respective Corporate Governance frameworks that you are mandated to comply with.

Are you serving on a Regulated Board, the Company Secretary, the Chief Executive Officer, or the equivalent of your organisation? Perhaps an aspiring “new Director” seeking a Board seat?

Then this GRC Consulting Service is of interest to you personally and will benefit your Board.

We assist you directly with this Service in assessing:

  • Individual Directors – your Corporate Governance positioning,
    • Assessing your Personal Liability Exposure relative to the Regulatory Requirements you are mandated to comply with.
    • Assessing your Personal Independence Exposure relative to the Regulatory Requirements you are mandated to comply with.
  • The Board – the Corporate Governance positioning of individual Directors and collectively for that of the Board,

thereby enabling, for the Board, the establishment of the Boards:

  1. collective current Corporate Governance position on the Corporate Governance frameworks,
    1. collective current Liabilities Exposure (some 75 exposures).
    2. collective current Independence Exposure (some 20 exposures).
  2. establishing the priority areas of strategic importance to the Board that require attention,
  3. an action plan to address shortfalls/make material improvements, and
  4. with the outcome of improving the Board’s capabilities and performance.

All founded on the Corporate Governance requirements under regulations that you are mandated to comply with and provide a tailored Personal and or Board Plan to then take Action – to reduce your EXPOSURE / LIABILITY and improve your Performance.

Simple to understand, Simple to implement, and Simple to use.

Why Your Interest? - Our Approach ...

In our search to help Governing Bodies solve their complex problems, we carefully evaluated an exhaustive list of international country-based Corporate Governance frameworks, including those from KSA (SAMA/CMA) covering Governing Body/Board/Director Corporate Governance, and/or Board Evaluation Assessment Frameworks, that would aspire to the broader requirements of Improving Board and Business Performance.

The reality is:

  • There are not many available, and furthermore,
  • They are mostly generic and do not exceed the regulatory minimum, nor extend to what is required for business and operations.
  • The assessment frameworks were similarly found to be generic, bare minimum, and lacked business and operational criteria.
  • They do not utilise advanced, currently available technologies to ensure a seamless, secure, efficient, and cost-effective internet-based delivery.

In addition, we also found that: 

  • They were largely outdated, not kept current, and consequently,
  • They are not reflective of current business practices or best practice corporate governance.

Consequently, with our focus on solving complex problems for Governing Bodies and their Executive Leadership, utilising our creative skills, methodologies, and technologies, we believed we could do better for our Governing Bodies, their Directors, and Executive Leadership.

We have therefore built a Service that directly references the mandates that Regulators impose on International and KSA (SAMA/CMA) Directors and their Boards, as well as business and operational best practices in these areas. Further, we designed the reporting and service deliverables to focus on improving specific corporate governance shortfalls highlighted, thereby improving the performance, skills, knowledge, and competence of the respective Directors and Boards.

Simple to understand, Simple to implement, and Simple to use.

Why Your Interest? - Driving Market Forces ...

Similarly, globally, across many jurisdictions, and in parallel with the Saudi National Transformation and Vision programs, there are, understandably, significant changes taking place internationally in many countries and across the Kingdom, and, importantly, legislatively, through the issuance of new laws and regulations.

Furthermore, the continued changes across all market-places heightens competition, raising standards and requiring improved performance, which the recent difficult global conditions have exacerbated.

Performance that has to be led by the Board, its Directors, and the organisation’s executive team.

In seeking to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and new sophisticated investors, stimulate local business, and update and enhance the fabric of countries, the demand for enhanced oversight, internationally accepted norms, stricter and more precise definitions, ethical and effective governance, and other drivers is increasing pressure.

We are focusing on the increasing Director pressures, exposure, and liability, and the pressure to increase performance, which forces are not expected to reduce but continue increasing over time.

This Service addresses these issues with the targeted outcome of improving Director and Board Performance through improved Governance.

It is therefore critical for Directors and their Boards to:

  • ascertain current positions through a properly structured governance assessment, and
  • actively plan and take the necessary action,
  • re-evaluate potential exposures and standing relative to Corporate Governance/Director Liability/Director Independence requirements,
  • to be prudent, limit exposure and potential liability, improve Corporate Governance and performance,
  • stay out of harm’s way with the benefits of enhanced performance and reduced risk.
  • address not only the bare minimum of Regulatory matters but also improve Performance across business and operational matters through these exercises.

This dedicated Service aims to assist you, the International/KSA (SAMA/CMA) Director, and the Board

in making the right and sensible choice and improving your performance.

Simple to understand, Simple to implement, and Simple to use.

Why Your Interest? - Historical Assessment Problems ...

To date, Boards have found that their valuable time spent on Board Assessments has been problematic, in that the assessments have:

  • been generic and not specific to local regulatory requirements, resulting in a lack of focus on local regulatory requirements and increased regulatory risk.
  • only focused, as with the Regulatory Codes, on the bare minimum and does not extend to address business and operational criteria.
  • have not generated specific, local, actionable regulatory items for a board-prioritised development plan and processes.
  • been conducted by external assessors without any direct connection to local regulatory and cultural knowledge.
  • failed to deliver Director compliance statements as lodged formal organisational records.
  • The only real value has been the onsite assessments or face-to-face meetings element. This element is also subject to the facilitator skills and the most expensive option, whilst still not delivering the best value for money.

GRC Consulting has worked hard to solve this problem and provide an improved Service for International/KSA (SAMA/CMA) regulated organisations by structuring its Director and Board Corporate Governance Assessment Service to overcome these issues and deliver an effective and efficient service.

As Corporate Governance Experts, we know of no other service offering that delivers direct, one-to-one, actionable Corporate Governance intelligence for Directors and the Board, and that supports compliance with its mandatory regulatory requirements.

Simple to understand, Simple to implement, and Simple to use.

Your Liability/Independence - Why it Matters and Why it can be Costly ...

To highlight: as a Director or as a Board, you have 2 main Fiduciary Duties that arise because of your privileged position within the organisation:

  1. Duty of Loyalty, and
      • The duty of loyalty is a responsibility to act in the best interests of the organisation, even when that action may conflict with a personal interest.

2. Duty of Care.

      • The duty of care requires directors and officers to act with the care of an ordinarily prudent person in like circumstances.

Director Independence is a Fundamental Pillar to your ability to act.

The above is simplistic, however, without transparently being and being seen to be Independent, acting in the best interest, with due care, your/the Board’s and the organisation’s Credibility, Integrity and Reputation will be lost, and lost within a microsecond, and you may be exposed to a range of liabilities from many sources.

Therein lies the problem!!!

Our Service is designed to highlight the Regulated Corporate Governance Requirements that you, as a Director and or Board, are mandated to comply with.

We look at Evidence and Effectiveness and, in doing so, provide you with a Plan to take Action.

What Evidence – is there to corroborate your position? – “work ethic/evidence”.

Focusing on Performance to become a “High Performing Governing Body/Director”, the focus will be:
