Comments on Ten Boardroom Challenges: A Boardroom Guide to The OECD Priciples on Corporate Governance Tony Silitonga Indonesian Institute for Corporate Directorship (IICD)
Ten Boardroom Challenges • Board Mandate • Management Oversight– Selecting, Supervising, Evaluating, Compensating, and Replacing Management • Corporate Strategy & Risk– Challenging management assumptions about opportunities & Risks; consensus about strategic direction; monitoring achievement or strategic goals • Disclosure– Overseeing audit processes, accounting policies and disclosure requirements • Corporate Values– Establishing an appropriate “tone at the top”. • An Effective Governance System– Developing and implementing a governance system that makes efficient and effective use of limited resources. • Independent-Minded Board– Ensuring board objectivity. • Fiduciary Governance– Understanding and meeting the expectations of shareholders and regulators. • Informing the Board– Identifying the board’s information needs and ensuring the board has access to that information. • Responding to Crises– Responding quickly and responsibly to corporate problems.
Background Why Ten Boardroom Challenges ? • Half of the Fortune 500 companies in 1987 are not Fortune 500 companies today. Many of these companies have FAILED AND CLOSED THEIR DOORS FOREVER. Reasons cited are numerous (“Failures of Vision”, “Identity Crisis”, “Anybody Out There”, “The Glue Sticks, and Sticks”, “Enemies Within”). • Escalating challenge of CEO survival (Within 2 years, 57% of the largest 367 companies in USA REMOVED their CEOs ) • There are CHANGES in nature of the business, investment, and investors (3 most obvious ones: Constituent Demands are Greater, Expectations are Higher, Competition is Tougher) To influence the Boardroom guidelines and Best Practices that build on OECD Principles

TRUTHSabout FRAUD • Fraud is recognised as a significant threat facing businesses, big or small, all over the world. • Some frauds arise because of too much trust being placed on one individual with no effective segregation of duties. • Employees can commit fraud at any time and for whatever reason. ACRONYM FOR FRAUD :F ALSE R EALITIES A PPEARING U NDER D ECEPTION Tan Chen Leong CFE IICD-Marcus Evans Forum for Directors 16-17 Jan. 2006 – Mulia Hotel, Jakarta
How Big is FRAUD RISK ??? Losses from fraud are likely to be grossly misleading because only a fraction of fraud is reported. Statistically: • One out of every four persons will steal whenever they can. • Two out of four persons will steal when they think they can get away with it. • In total, 75% of all persons are potential fraud perpetrators.

How to To face the challenges ? Board needs the right people, the right culture, the right issues, the right information, the right process and the right follow-through
