[IICA Independent Director] 16, Evaluation, Succession and Better Board Performance

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Key distinctions between board evaluation rules under Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI LODR Regulations. • How to evaluate three distinct assessment subjects: the board, committees, and individual directors. • Why completed evaluation forms alone do not guarantee independent director reappointment or effectiveness. • Practical methods for turning evaluation feedback into training, agenda changes, and updated skills matrices. • Why passing the IICA test satisfies databank eligibility without acting as a licence or board seat guarantee.
