Launch of Directors Forum Position Paper 4: Board Evaluation

November 2019

The main objective of this paper is to introduce the principles of Board Evaluation, highlight the aim of such evaluation, as well as the advantages, and analyse the elements to be evaluated.

The paper also provides a variety of approaches to the various methods of evaluation to assist local companies that are willing to carry out such an evaluation. For companies who question the objectivity of such an exercise being done internally versus externally, the advantages and disadvantages are listed in this guide.

The paper acts as a guide for companies falling under the scope of the National Code of Corporate Governance for Mauritius (2016) and companies that aspire to enhance their Board effectiveness.

About the Directors Forum

To support the MIoD in buiding more effective Boards and to promote good corporate governance, the Directors Forum (the Forum) was set up in 2012, in collaboration with PwC Mauritius. The Forum acts as an Advisory Council and Technical Committee to the MIoD.

Its objectives are to:

  • Identify issues which are of most concern to directors,
  • Produce position documents and, through consultation with Government and regulators, contribute to policy development,
  • Be the voice for governance and directors’ issues in Mauritius,
  • Develop guidance on governance issues in Mauritius.

An Ethics Guide for Boards

This Guide has largely been inspired by the work of the Ethics Institute of South Africa, with which the MIoD has an MOU, and by the work of its CEO, Prof Deon Rossouw, and his collaborator Leon van Vuuren, in their book “Business Ethics” (Oxford University Press). We thank Prof Rossouw for his precious collaboration. In this Guide we refer to Codes of Ethics, which govern decision-making, and Codes of Conduct, which govern actions.
