The appointment of a new director is a delicate task. Never before have the boards of our publicly listed companies and government agencies been under greater public scrutiny - from shareholders, regulators and media. Corporate Government has become a critical factor for every board. So the selection of the right person for a vacancy is paramount the same is true of new chief Financial The same is true of new Chief Executives, Chief Financial Officers and other Senior Managers. The right "name" can add value to the share price while a bad, or inappropriate selection can do untold damage.

The search for, and selection of, these key people has become a highly professional task. Using a network of friends and colleagues is no longer acceptable to the marketplace and certainly does not constitute "best practice".
