For institutional investors, company directors, regulators and executives

As sponsors of their annual Governance & Remuneration Forums, Guerdon Associates and CGI Glass Lewis are delighted to announce that registration is now open for Forums in Sydney on 11 March and in Perth on 17 March.

We are pleased to confirm the following Sydney panellists (with more to be announced in coming weeks):

  • Andrew Sisson, MD, Balanced Equity Management
  • David Gonski, Professional Director
  • Gordon Hagart, CEO, Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (“ACSI”)
  • Pru Bennett, Head of Asia Pacific Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment, BlackRock

We will provide updated panellist information for both Forums, as well as programs, in the coming weeks.

This year’s Forums will address major corporate governance issues that have arisen in addition to remuneration issues.

Issues addressed will include:

  • The appropriateness (or lack thereof) of reliance on analysts’ forecasts in assessing incentive targets
  • How new disclosure requirements on board skill matrices will figure in investor director election voting
  • Regulatory/legislative updates, particularly in the context of a change in Government
  • An overview of CGI Glass Lewis’ voting recommendations and rationale, as well as 2013 proxy voting outcomes/trends

The Forums will build on the goodwill, progress and outcomes achieved in previous Forums and provide for a frank and practical exchange of views between board directors, company executives, regulators and institutional investors.

As usual, sessions will include a panel discussion and Q&A, and the Chatham House Rule will apply to facilitate frank and open debate.
