According to a recent member-requested Society Quick Survey on the frequency of various types of management reports to the board, reports/updates to the board are most frequently commonly given on Charitable Contributions, Environmental-Related topics, Government Affairs, Physical Security, and Operations (each about 4x/year). Periodic reports/updates on Regulatory matters, Corporate Governance, Shareholder Engagement, Risk Management, IT/IS, and Corporate Ethics/Compliance are also common. Access the full survey results here.
This survey report, along with the results of a member-requested benchmarking survey on board evaluations, first appeared in last week's Society Alert! Note that our member-requested Quick Surveys are always conducted on an anonymous basis, and reported out promptly after the survey closes in the next weekly Society Alert.
