The conversations every board must have Sessions will examine: • how audit and risk committees can look ahead, not only back • the quality of engagement between committees, the full board and management • independent challenge and the courage to ask hard questions • succession, leadership and the role of nomination and remuneration committees • ESG and sustainability oversight • how committees keep boards alert to emerging opportunities and threats What delegates take home Every delegate will receive a copy of Professor Boateng's new book, Practical Perspectives on the Committees of the Board, written from an African and developing-world perspective and launched at the summit.
