Recommendation 2
2
Paragraph: 19
Update or replace the Corporate Governance Code to define non-executive directors' comprehensive roles.
Recommendation
The Corporate Governance Code is not fit-for-purpose as the main guidance document for NEDs, given it does not encompass all of their work in Government. It should be updated or replaced by the end of the calendar year to set out the key roles and tasks that a Government NED should undertake within the department, as well as any limitations to that. The new document should cover typical activities of NEDs both on and outside the departmental board setting.
