UK: ICSA review of the Higgs guidance - consultation responses published

Earlier this year the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators began a review of the Higgs guidance with the publication of a consultation paper titled Improving Board Effectiveness (available here, pdf). The paper set out a suggested framework for new guidance around five areas: [1] roles and responsibilities of the board and its members; [2] skill levels in the boardroom; [3] board decision-making; [4] the individual on the board; and [5] accountability.

The consultation period ended in April and responses have now been published by ICSA: see here. A further consultation paper is expected within the next month or so.
