As ecoDa is representing individual board members at the European level, the issue of Private Equity will be examined from a corporate governance prospective. Issues like transparency, directors’ independence, directors' loyalty in corporate governance and private equity will be considered.
In the first roundtable, after identifying the trends and key players in Private Equity, the panel will raise the question of the need for specific and CG Codes regarding Private Equity. The speakers will be requested to debate the merits of industry-driven codes of conduct versus mandatory disclosure requirements and also to consider whether professional standards can be sufficient to guarantee good corporate governance.
The second roundtable will address the question of appropriate board balance in Private Equity in terms of independence. We will examine whether the interests of stakeholders and long-term strategies are always consistent with the requirements of Private Equity.
