SUMMARY:Governance Roundtable: The Board Assurance Gap – Practical Lessons for NEDs
DESCRIPTION:How confident can NEDs be that the assurance their board receives reflects what is actually happening within the organisation? \nThis interactive roundtable brings experienced non-executive directors together to explore the “assurance gap”—where board confidence exceeds the evidence supporting it. \nOpening insights from NEDonBoard member Dr Simon Le Clerc will set the scene for peer discussion of practical scenarios\, warning signs and lessons learned when assurance has proved incomplete or misplaced. \nParticipants will explore how NEDs can challenge management reporting\, test the independence and quality of assurance\, and recognise when further scrutiny is needed. \nBring your own experiences and questions to exchange perspectives with board peers and identify practical ways to strengthen oversight without stepping into executive responsibilities. \n  \nTo Attend: \nPlease register to attend. \nNEDonBoard members who meet the roundtable criteria are prioritised and attendance is limited as this is a small peer group discussion\, allowing for interactive participation.
