About the Panel Discussion
Audit Committees are expected to provide assurance, challenge, and judgment — yet many boards still struggle to move beyond compliance.
This panel cuts through theory to examine what effective financial governance actually looks like at the board table. Designed for directors and senior leaders, the session focuses on real-world Audit Committee practice, decision-making, and accountability.
With a strong emphasis on audience Q&A, participants can explore the issues that matter most in today’s complex risk environment.
About the Panel Discussion
In many organisations, the Chairperson is the most senior and respected figure in the room. Yet an effective Chair does not dominate the discussion or run the business. Instead, like a conductor, the Chair brings together different voices, perspectives, and expertise to ensure the board functions as a cohesive and high-performing team.
This webinar explores the role of the Chairperson, not as the loudest voice, but as the leader who sets the tone, shapes the agenda, and enables strong participation and sound decision-making at board level.
Drawing on international board experience and Myanmar business realities, the session will examine how Chairs can:
- Lead boards effectively in founder-led, family-owned, and professionally managed companies
- Encourage meaningful contributions from all directors while managing hierarchy and strong personalities
- Work constructively with the CEO and board secretary to focus board time on what matters most
- Balance authority with stewardship, and oversight with trust
The discussion will be highly practical, addressing common challenges faced by Chairs in Myanmar, where the role is often shaped by ownership, seniority, or social standing. Participants will gain clear insights and actionable practices to improve board effectiveness, whether they are current Chairs, aspiring Chairs, or directors working closely with one.
The session will be moderated by Daw Thiri Thant Mon (Executive Director, MIoD), with insights from:
- U Thura Ko Ko (Chair, MIoD | Managing Director, YGA Capital Limited)
- Dr. Su Hla Han (Chair, Myanmar Women Entrepreneurs Network (MYANWEN) | Board Director, MIoD | Managing Director, Medi Myanmar Group Ltd.)
A 30-minute live Q&A will follow the discussion.
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for:
- Current and aspiring Chairpersons, particularly in family-owned, founder-led, or owner-managed businesses
- Board directors who work closely with Chairs and want to strengthen board effectiveness
- Founders and business owners who chair their own boards and are considering how to evolve their role
- Senior executives and CEOs who want to build a more effective working relationship with their Chair and board
- Governance professionals and board secretaries supporting boards and board leadership
This webinar is especially relevant for organisations navigating growth, succession, professionalisation, or increased external scrutiny.
