The SID's Statements of Good Practice have been developed as a result of requests from its members to provide guidelines on certain fundamental issues of board performance, accountability and corporate responsibility, in a succinct and practical way. These Statements are not meant to be overly prescriptive and are necessarily of a general and introductory nature as they deal with different and varying issues.

1. SGP No. 1/2005 : Directors’ Professional Development

4. SGP No. 4/ 2006 : The Role of the Audit Committee
5. SGP No. 5/ 2006 : Conflicts of Interest
6. SGP No. 6/ 2006 : Tenure and Termination of Board
7. SGP No. 7/ 2007: The Role, Duties and Responsibilities of the Independent Director
