Join the #EY Center for Board Matters on Thursday, February 15, at 3:00 p.m. ET for another episode in our webcast series, Better Questions for Boards, designed to provide directors with #insights and questions to consider as they engage with management on a variety of complex boardroom issues. Each year the EY Center for Board Matters #surveys board members to find out what their priorities are for the upcoming year. This year we heard from more than 350 corporate directors from a cross section of industries and company sizes. Each selected from a list of nine topics and ranked them in order of importance. During this webcast we will talk about the overall results of the survey and have a lively discussion focused on three key areas: - Staying agile amid continued economic #uncertainty. - Balancing discipline and transformation in #capital strategy. - Embracing #cybersecurity and data privacy as strategic advantages.

After we published an infographic on what CEOs wish CFOs knew, many of you requested a similar document on what Boards wish CFOs knew. Ask and you shall receive! The enclosed document offers many insights into the priorities of board members, from strategic finance, global economic awareness, and cyber security. I am confident that many of you are already following these practices. If so, good for you for being on the cutting edge! But hopefully, there will be a nugget or two that you aren’t currently prioritizing.  Please discuss this and more in the comments section. If you want a copy of the entire document, please visit https://lnkd.in/eu9iEXW9 The CFO Leadership Council will also be hosting a webinar on April 5th at 1 p.m EST. How CFOs Can Attain a Seat on the Board Topics include: -Types of Boards and why their differences should matter to you: public, private, early stage, mutual funds, advisory boards, etc. -What companies look for in Director candidates (who’s in demand today?) including issues around women and minorities on boards, board diversity, board balance, and board refreshment. -Providing relevant current information to make you knowledgeable and conversant in a range of timely board topics. This builds the type of mature and informed perspective that will separate you from the other candidates and helps you create a knowledgeable dialog around today’s board governance issues.
