Independent NEDs should have no connections with the company other than fees and shareholdings(bpp kit pg102 answer to Q6)
Is this right?
Cz shareholding is actually a significant connection with the company!May 1, 2014 at 5:29 pm #167029Yes – it is right (I don’t think that BPP would say it otherwise 🙂 )
May 2, 2014 at 9:35 am #167098What is right?that NEDs can have shareholdings in a company and be independent?
Thanks in advance
May 2, 2014 at 9:52 am #167099Yes – provided that it is not a controlling shareholding.
The are still independent of the management of the company.
May 2, 2014 at 6:05 pm #167162But if mngmthas an incentive to overstate profits and hence share price,the wont the interests of NEDs and mngmt be aligned?
May 3, 2014 at 10:07 am #167198But overstating profits is not likely to be something discussed at a directors meeting with NED’s present anyway 🙂
NED’s are more concerned with strategy rather than the short-term.
However…….the rule is as per what BPP has quoted.
