"Board effectiveness is one of the major components of Standard & Poor's governance analysis of companies,” said Ian Byrne director, Global Business Development, Governance Services, Standard & Poor's. ”Any qualification and training programme that enhances an individual director's contribution to board performance, such as the Chartered Director qualification offered by the UK's Institute of Directors, is welcomed by Standard & Poor's."
Chartered Director, the world's first professional qualification for directors, is the only qualification offered specifically for directors. It is designed to be a certificate of professional competence for those who have reached a high standard of knowledge and skill in their role. The Chartered Director award follows an optional period of study, culminating in an IoD examination in company direction, covering: finance, strategy, human resources, marketing, leading change and performance management.
