Accounting restatements, unsolicited takeover offers, corporate scandals, data breaches and executive succession crises are among the events that can place considerable claims on a director’s attention. It is important that board members have the capacity to fulfill all duties, including responding to such unforeseen events when they happen, without compromising their professional and boardroom commitments,” ISS said.
