Diversity Briefing: Questions for Directors to Ask

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) recently issued Diversity Briefing: Questions for Directors to Ask. The guidance focuses on diversity within companies and the ways in which it comes to the attention of the board of directors through the oversight of strategy, risk and executive succession. It also addresses the importance of diversity on the board itself and offers questions that are intended to be a catalyst for useful dialogue among directors, for directors with management, or with outside advisors.
