Lists & Rankings: The Board Report (Canada’s Best and Worst Boards)

From the overview:

After years of steady improvements in the governance practices examined by Canadian Business in our annual survey of Canada’s boards, a governance gap appears to be developing between large and small companies. Median scores of the nearly 300 companies surveyed dipped slightly, to 52 points out of 100, down from last year’s median of 60 points. That drop wasn’t the result of companies taking governance less seriously. Rather, we used more stringent criteria to rate disclosure and how well boards assess their own effectiveness. Had we used last year’s criteria, the median score would have been 59 points
