A NED is a member of the board of directors of a company or organisation who does not form part of the executive management team. They are not employees of the company or affiliated with it in any other way and are differentiated from management. They have the same legal duties, responsibilities and potential liabilities as their executive counterparts.
NEDs provide independent oversight and serve on committees concerned with issues such as Audit Committees or the pay of the executive directors and other senior managers; they are usually paid a fee for their services.
