2019-2020 Private Company Governance Survey
05/13/2020
In brief: For more than a decade, NACD’s Private Company Governance Survey has helped directors to stay on top of governance trends and practices and to benchmark their boards against a large set of privately-owned organizations.
This year’s 2019-2020 report offers commentary on the significance of critical trends and highlights how key practices may evolve amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. The report provides critical insights on
-
key business trends and essential priorities of the board;
-
the development of strategy in an uncertain environment;
-
the state of boards’ risk oversight, specifically cyber risk; and
-
the evolving state of ESG practices among privately held companies.
Boards can use this resource to improve their governance oversight:
Identify areas for improvement in your current governance practices, including board composition, structure, succession planning, and risk oversight.
Benchmark your board’s strategic priorities.
Relevant audiences: Board members and corporate secretaries of private companies, especially board chairs, lead directors, and committee chairs
