The document discusses establishing "tone at the top" through board oversight and asking questions at meetings. It provides 25 questions for boards to consider asking management teams to gain insight. Examples include asking about cash reserves, insurance coverage, key challenges, and compliance with audit recommendations. The questions are meant to facilitate open-ended discussions about operations, planning, risks and controls.
This was a presentation made to elected councillors who wanted some advice about questions they could ask when scrutinising their council's budget. I think, however, that the questions could be asked by any stakeholder about a budget.

Shareholders Are Dissatisfied with CEO Compensation and Disclosure--Proxies Are Too Long, Difficult to Read.
Only 38 percent of institutional investors believe that corporate disclosure about executive compensation is clear and easy to understand. “Shareholders want to know that the size, structure, and performance targets used in executive compensation contracts are appropriate,” says Professor David F. Larcker of the Stanford Graduate School of Business. “Our research shows that, across the board, they are dissatisfied with the quality and clarity of the information they receive about compensation in the corporate proxy. Even the largest, most sophisticated investors are unhappy.”
“With new pressure from activist investors and annual ‘Say on Pay’ (SOP) votes, it is more important than ever that companies explain to their shareholder base why the compensation packages they offer are appropriate in size and structure,” says Aaron Boyd, director of Governance Research at Equilar. “Investors are noticing the wide range in quality and clarity among various companies’ proxies. They want companies to communicate and explain, rather than simply disclose,” adds Ron Schneider, director of Corporate Governance Services at RR Donnelley Financial Services. “This represents a significant opportunity for many companies to improve the clarity of their proxies.”
In the fall of 2014, RR Donnelley, Equilar, and the Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University surveyed 64 asset managers and owners with a combined $17 trillion in assets to understand how institutional investors use the information in corporate proxies.

Private company owners, including family businesses, ESOPs, and private equity owners, often have different expectations for their boards than is common in publicly traded firms. Besides being much less encumbered by regulatory compliance, many private firms are looking for a completely different kind of engagement from directors. In companies with new boards, leaders and directors often struggle early on to determine the role of the board and how to separate board responsibilities from those of ownership and management. In this webinar, the audience will learn what companies are really looking for (or should be) from their boards, and the many ways that boards contribute to private company success.
