The Nominating Committee is one of the key committees of the board and mandatory under both Bursa Malaysia listing requirements and Bank Negara Malaysia rules for regulated financial institutions. The NC deals with important matters such as board and board committee composition; nomination of directors; succession planning for directors and key management; assessment of director independence; board and director evaluations; and may also have a broader corporate governance mandate.

However, often the NC meets infrequently and adopts a “box-ticking” approach to discharging its responsibilities that falls far short of the expectations of external stakeholders and do not contribute to a well-governed and managed company.

In this 1-day program, participants will be exposed to leading practices relating to the responsibilities of nominating committees. The program will be highly interactive, with extensive use of real-life case studies and realistic scenarios. The cases and scenarios explored will span a range of companies – government-linked, family-controlled and widely-held companies, and both financial and non- financial services companies.
