Non-Executive Director

The 1992 Cadbury Report initiated a debate about the main functions and responsibilities of non-executive directors. Today, it is widely accepted that non-executive directors have an important contribution to make to the proper running of companies and, therefore, more widely to the economy at large. As the Cadbury Report said, they: "should bring an independent judgement to bear on issues of strategy, performance and resources including key appointments and standards of conduct."
