PwC: Annual Corporate Director Survey 2011 findings

Courtesy of Mike Gould, Partner in the Transactions Services group at PwC:

Annual Corporate Director Survey 2011 findings. Investor demands and regulatory pressure for improved corporate disclosure have dramatically affected directors’ oversight roles and their focus on critical areas such as executive compensation, risk management and succession planning.  In the summer of 2011, 834 corporate directors responded to PwC’s 2011 Annual Corporate Director Survey. Sixty seven percent of survey respondents were on the boards of companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue, representing the current boardroom thinking of today’s world-class companies. Their responses indicate a clear recognition of the challenges they face with this altered landscape. Directors are listening carefully, and are focused on responding, to the concerns expressed by shareholders, regulators, and other stakeholders.
