Recommendation 18
18
Confirm consistent policy for Non-Executive Director numbers related to department size and remit
Recommendation
The number of NEDs per department is variable. We believe there should be common standards underpinning the rationale for the number of NEDs per department in the interests of consistency and good governance. The Government should confirm in response to this Report a consistent policy in order to relate the number of NEDs in a department to its size and remit. This should then be reflected in future iterations of the Corporate Governance Code and accompanying guidance note. (Paragraph 57) Governance and accountability
