About this lesson
This video covers the key distinction between executive and non-executive directors, the requirement for board independence under the UK Corporate Governance Code, and the crucial role of board committees—audit, nomination, remuneration, and risk—in supporting effective governance. Understanding these responsibilities is essential for the Audit and Assurance module, particularly when evaluating whether companies comply with governance provisions and how auditors report on this compliance.
