This topic has been of increased importance since the publication of the Cadbury Report (1992), which set out guidance in a Code of Practice (the Cadbury Code). There is now a stock-exchange requirement for listed companies to state their compliance with this Code. In particular, the Cadbury Report issued guidelines separating the roles of the chairman of a company and its chief executive, in order to reduce the power of one director. A wider role was also given to non-executive directors. OB&M Alexander Demidov) |
