The c-suite's responsibility sits further than just overseeing the management and operations of a company, from financial performance to strategic planning, and risk management. According to the National Association of Corporate Directors, the core responsibilities of the c-suite can be summarised into the following areas:

Strategy: developing and approving the company's overall strategic direction and ensuring that it aligns with the company's values and objectives.

Financial performance: overseeing the company's financial performance, ensuring that it meets its financial goals and objectives, and maintaining accurate financial records.

Risk management: identifying and assessing the risks associated with the company's operations and developing strategies to mitigate those risks.
