The South African Reserve Bank issued Circular 3/2007 to mandate structured board of director meetings for all domestic and foreign bank branches during the 2007 calendar year. Institutions must present on two priority topics: maintaining a comprehensive board directorship continuity programme and actively overseeing the implementation of the revised Basel II capital framework. The regulator will supply a detailed agenda one month prior, limit its own presentation to thirty minutes, and require signed acknowledgements from both chief executives and independent auditors.
