Course description
The board of directors is elected to represent and ensure the shareholder is heard. Every bank is required by law to have an installed board of directors. They protect the shareholders’ interest by providing oversight and management policies. They are also responsible for making key decisions about what is happening in banks. Today’s banking world expects much from the bank’s board, giving meaningful advice and providing strategic oversight of a bank’s critical functions. This course from Rcademy will give wider know-how, and fundamental discussion about bank board strategy, responsibilities, and best practices for diversifying the various member composition and the importance of ensuring the board is made of a gender-balanced quorum.
Why do banks have a board of directors?
Since banks are companies, they, too, are run by a board of directors who act as the top decision-makers for the institution. The board of directors is accountable for defending the interests of the bank’s shareholders, supervising the bank’s management, and making key decisions, including authorising big investments or changes in business strategy. With a board of directors in place, a bank may guarantee that its management is answerable to its shareholders and that the bank is open and accountable.
