If one were to check Barham’s diary and mobile, I would not be shocked at a raft of contacts with Thorburn, intensifying around the time of X departure.

This is who we want, now go through a process to deliver them to the Board

I disagree. Governance wasn’t the issue. If there was no process then that’s a lack of governance. It was a failure of process. This falls squarely on EY who seemingly did not require all candidates to declare all leadership positions, including in a volunteering capacity.

Anyone doing an interview would ask about current and previous positions, what the jobs entail and the relevance to the position applied for.

Sure, but it’s not a governance failure. It’s a failure of process.

A failure of process is governance 101

It depends if you see the decision to appoint as the incorrect decision. I don’t think it was at the time. It was well intentioned and issues around RC are reasonably manageable. But the process that produced the appointment failed to contemplate some sort of declaration process re leadership roles. I think that’s a failure of process rather than governance.

Procedural fairness and equity underpins justice in society. It’s reflected in Christian teaching,
But if you prefer the end justifies the means, some would call it a touch of evil ( as in the Orson Wells film of that name)

He stays as president, more ■■■■ to sift through but he is a doer not a BS talker

And the leaking and backgrounding starts again…

Feels like things will get worse before they get better. This “refresh” has some more scalps to take

You could be right, but it read like a controlled leak by Barham himself.
