An effective board evaluation is a catalyst for driving positive changes, it says in report using input from 581 listed companies.

KUALA LUMPUR: The practice of evaluating board effectiveness has gained recognition in Malaysia.

In its latest report, entitled “Board Evaluation – Mutual Admiration or Thoughtful Reflection?”, released today, KPMG explores the thinking, approaches and practices associated with board evaluation in Malaysia. “It was also noted that 82% of independent directors in the companies have not exceeded the nine-year tenure yardstick. This is aligned with the notion that long tenures of independent directors and familiarity may erode the board’s objectivity,” it said.
