As we continue to explore how Co Secs ensure their house is in order and that it is ready and able to deal with any challenge ahead, today we think about "Stakeholders!" While we often emphasise the importance of external stakeholders, how much time do we dedicate to our internal stakeholders? Now is the perfect opportunity to reconnect. When was the last time you reached out to your internal stakeholders for a coffee, discussed roles, and aligned on mutual expectations? Here are some of our key departments—who are yours? ⭐Finance ⭐Tax ⭐Legal ⭐Investor Relations ⭐HR ⭐Sustainability ⭐Executive PAs/EAs ⭐IT ⭐ Audit & Risk ⭐ Communications ⭐ Risk & Compliance #governance #companysecretary #governanceprofessional

August—often seen as a quieter time for the Co Sec team, right? Well, maybe not! But we do take advantage of this period to plan ahead for the upcoming year. We’re sharing our top tips for staying proactive rather than reactive: Board and Committee Meeting Preparations: 1. Confirm Board and committee dates for 2025, 2026, and even 2027, ensuring they’re in everyone’s diaries. 2. Start drafting Board and committee agendas and schedule review meetings with the Chair and respective Committee Chairs. 3. Revisit the Schedule of Matters reserved for the Board and the Committee Terms of Reference—when was the last time yours were reviewed and updated? 4. Review the past 12 months of Board and Committee minutes to ensure all responsibilities were addressed, and if not, plan a ‘catch-all’ session. 5. Verify that all your Board members’ contact details are up-to-date so you can reach them or their PA at a moment’s notice. #boardorganisation #companysecretary #governance #boardofdirectors #directors #governanceprofessional

Who influences you in your professional life? Here, our founding director Kerry Round, FCG got to meet a personal role model whose message is as important around the board table as it is for running in races! #equality #inclusion #governance
Governance Expert. Board Performance Reviewer. Governance expert. Practical thinker. Chartered Secretary (Fellow). Director. Hot 100 Winner (2022); (2021); (2020), Business owner. Educator. Mentor. Public Speaker.
They say don't meet your heroes but I could not have been prouder to have met Sophie Power, founder of SheRaces at the weekend. Not only is she a hard core mum that gets sh*t done, she's changing the face of running and ultra running so that there is equality for all on the start line. Sophie says: "I founded She Races to ensure women have the same opportunities as men. Where races are designed through a female lens as well as a man’s. Where we are encouraged to participate, that our differences are taken into account and our achievements are held in equal regard." It strikes me that the start line and the Board table are not so different! #awomensplaceisonthestartline #change #equality #inclusion #boarddiversity #governance #runner

Do you have any Politically Exposed Persons on your Board? If so, you'll be interested in the consultation launched by the FCA. In response to concerns that some firms are applying the FCA's Guidance on PEPs in a disproportionate way. The FCA has carried out a Review - and now wants your view on it's findings. You have until October 2024 to respond. https://lnkd.in/eAAhnTjN When was the last time you looked at the external appointments of your Board members? #PEP #governance #board #directors

We did it! We provided an Accessible. Affordable. Applicable platform for like minded governance professionals to come together and cover some of the smoking hot topics in the governance world right now! Kerry Round, FCG kicked off proceedings celebrating the role of Company Secretary is in today's world, a fact endorsed only last week by HRH Charles III. Nicola Ellwood MSc FMAC ANLP, Executive Coach picked up the mantel and encouraged us all to 'Value your map' - we all had a spring in our step after this presentation. Rob Sumroy, partner at Slaughter and May (the lad from Leeds), provided key context for ensuing AI was on the Board's agenda and outlined the biggest risk relating to AI was to 'not use it'. Martha McPherson and Marigold Melton consultants from Ever Sustainable hosted a fireside chat and really challenged our thinking (and prompted lots of note taking) on Double Materiality and the sustainability climate. Deeya Ray, Associate from Shakespeare Martineau enlightened us on key changes to Companies House that are in place and those that are yet to come. Claire Taylor and Kerry Round, FCG held break-out sessions on "Risk and the road ahead" and "GC as Co Sec" after which, we all collapsed in a heap full to the brim with knowledge and networking! There have been so many calls for the next instalment of #GatherRound but please let us recover from this one first 😂 #governance #cosec #legalcounsel #director #midlands #networking #gatherround24

Hands up – who's joining us on the 24th July for Gather Round 2024? If you haven’t secured your seat yet, here’s a reminder of what it’s all about. We believe that governance doesn’t just belong in Central London. It should be accessible outside of the M25. London-based events seem to always have a couple of extra £00 added to ticket prices. We also believe that in a cost-of-living crisis, we shouldn’t be paying extortionate fees to learn and network with our peers. Plus, students and people who are job-seeking in our industry should be given preferential rates (£10 a ticket for those who fall into these two categories). We guarantee this event is worth attending. Especially when we’ve got speakers of this caliber sharing their knowledge with you: ⭐ Ever Sustainable (part of Design Portfolio): Double materiality and sustainable reporting ⭐ Slaughter and May: AI in the Boardroom ⭐ Shakespeare Martineau: Companies House and ECCT changes ⭐ Nicola Ellwood MSc FMAC ANLP - Master Coach and Coach Developer You can find out more and book your ticket by following the link in comments below. #GovernanceConference24 #CompanySecretaries #GovernanceProfessionals #GeneralCounsels #BoardDirectors
