Independent directors (IDs) play a crucial role in the board, especially in ensuring transparency, accountability, and protecting the interests of all stakeholders as emphasised in the India Companies Act 2013. 

With stakeholders demanding greater transparency and accountability from companies, IDs are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that the organization's actions align with broader stakeholder interests. 

But here lies a challenge: not all independent directors come from a finance background, yet they are routinely confronted with financial statements, audits, and other fiscal matters in board meetings. How does an ID, without the nuances of finance, effectively navigate this terrain? The answer lies in understanding the right questions to ask. 

This podcast provides a conceptual framework to guide non-finance independent directors as they engage in board proceedings related to finances and audits. Whether you're an experienced ID looking to bolster your financial oversight or new to the boardroom, this guide aims to equip you with the essential tools to make informed decisions.
