The Role of Non-Executive Directors in Financial Services: Responsibilities and Influence
This webinar forms part of the 2025 Corporate Governance Series.
Description
This webinar explores the vital role of Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) in financial services, emphasising that a director is a director, regardless of title, and all carry regulatory responsibilities as Principal Persons. NEDs bring expert, independent insight to the board, enhancing governance and strategic oversight. However, with this influence comes accountability, and NEDs must remain highly attuned to both actual and perceived conflicts of interest to fulfil their duties effectively and ethically.
This webinar provides one-hour of CPD and offers insights and updates from a leading industry-expert speaker.
Delegates places are interchangeable with colleagues from the same organisation.
