5th Annual Directors’ Duties: Corporate & Family Boards

The most exclusive seats in the organisation are in the boardroom.  These seats are occupied by directors who exercise their responsibilities and duties with integrity for organisational sustainability. Along with these exclusive seats are heavy legal and personal liabilities. In 2016, regulatory updates have taken place in a few countries within the region; the new Saudi Companies Law, the Oman Corporate Governance Code, and the UAE Corporate Governance Rule.

How are these changes impacting the boardroom?

New initiatives and regulations are re-defining board compositions, independence of directors and gender equality in the boardroom to drive top line growths. The remarkable overhaul in the Middle East economic climate continues to weigh heavily on boardroom agendas. Over the years, shareholders have continuously exerted their influence to ensure boards are looking out for the best interests of the company.

How do we manage such delicate situations involving these board directors?

Back for the 5th time, this year’s Board of Directors flagship event will be co-located with the prestigious MENA Family Owned Business conference.
