Key Terms

nacd directorship 100 regulatory

An NACD Directorship 100 listing is an annual recognition by the National Association of Corporate Directors that highlights 100 board members seen as influential in corporate governance and boardroom leadership. For investors, inclusion acts like a quality signal — similar to seeing a trusted expert endorsement — suggesting the company’s board may be better equipped to guide strategy, manage risk and protect shareholder interests.

national association of corporate directors regulatory

A national association of corporate directors is a membership organization that provides guidance, education and best-practice standards for company boards and board members. Think of it as a professional school and resource hub for people who oversee a company’s strategy, risks and leadership choices. Investors care because stronger, better-informed boards are more likely to make sensible decisions that protect shareholder value and reduce the risk of costly mistakes or governance failures.

audit committee financial

A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.

corporate governance regulatory

Corporate governance is the system of rules, roles and oversight that determines how a company is directed and controlled, including the responsibilities of its board, executives and shareholders. Like the steering wheel and map for a car trip, it shapes decisions, sets checks on power and defines who can hold leaders accountable; strong governance reduces risk, builds trust and helps investors judge whether a company is likely to protect capital and deliver reliable returns.
