In many countries around the world the ability of the board to effectively oversee executive remuneration, as recommended by the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, appears to be a key challenge in practice and remains one of the central elements of the corporate governance debate. The nature of that challenge goes beyond the level of executive and director remuneration, even though that is the focus of much political discourse, to encompass how remuneration and incentive arrangements are aligned with the longer term interests of the company. Of particular importance is the connection between remuneration structure and company risks that the board needs to manage.
