ISS Requirements

Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) requires boards to receive a minimum 8 hours of instruction (excluding sessions on financial literacy and D&O insurance) to receive credit. Upon completion of an ISS-accredited program, the company receives an upward adjustment to its ISS Corporate Governance Quotient (CGQ) for the number of directors in attendance under a tiered tracking system: one director, a majority of directors, or the full board. The credits also apply to each board on which the directors serve. All sessions listed above are part of the Directors' Institute's accredited program and must be completed in order to receive ISS credit. The D&O Liability session is listed as "optional" since ISS does not award credit for this session. Boards may focus on each session to a greater or lesser extent depending on its informational requirements. Therefore, the duration times listed after each session are suggested duration times only.
* ISS does not give credit for the D&O session
