The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has launched a special interest group for members who are interested in becoming, or who are, non-executive directors, to help them gain access to a range of professional development support, designed specifically to make them effective non-executive directors.
The new non-executive directors (NED) group will offer networking opportunities, tailor made coaching services and training courses, subscription to a quarterly e-newsletter providing news, views and developments and access to a web portal which will draw together online resources for non-executive directors.
‘Non-executive directors are essential to organisations of all sizes and from all sectors,’ Michael Izza, ICAEW chief executive, said. ‘Chartered accountants are uniquely placed to offer their expertise and business knowledge to any board they join.
‘This new group will train and support members so that they are able to work effectively as non-executive directors to challenge decisions, provide strategic advice and contribute to the success of their organisation.’
