Baker Tilly and NACD: 2019 Governance Outlook- Projections on Emerging Board Matters
Baker Tilly and the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), the authority on boardroom practices representing more than 20,000 board members, released the 2019 Governance Outlook: Projections on Emerging Board Matters, featuring Baker Tilly’s 2019 Strategic Risks for Boards. The report serves as an annual road map to guide corporate directors and senior executives as they tackle business and governance risks and issues throughout the coming year.
Baker Tilly’s Strategic Risks for Boards focuses on critical disruptive forces boards and organizations face:
- Evolving tax risks and reform domestically and abroad
- Moving board oversight beyond awareness to risk mitigation and cybersecurity assurance
- Elevating privacy risks to the forefront of board agendas
- Navigating a volatile international trade and tariff landscape
As boards confront mounting pressure from investors and other stakeholders to demonstrate proper oversight of these risks, directors should ensure that their organizations are prepared for regulatory compliance, understand the impact of these risks and have a comprehensive monitoring program in place.
The report also highlights NACD survey findings on the top board priorities for 2019 and highlights issues related to climate change, M&A, regulatory priorities and board composition and success.
