Abstract: The Board, its composition and its performance evaluation is critical to corporate governance. Board evaluations can bring extraordinary benefits to the organisation and well conducted performance evaluation of the board will lead to significant improvements at each level of the organisation. A well defined and effective process of board evaluation will provide a positive note and will add value to the organisation as a whole. This article reviews the evaluation contents, frequency, methods and techniques. A critical analysis is made with respect to risks and challenges associate with board evaluation. Since boards vary in various institutions across the world, a uniform or acceptable framework for evaluating board performance is challenging
