Administrateur indépendant — Audit Committee

France·Industrial Manufacturing··Posted 14 July 2026

SBF 120-listed industrial group

The problem this seat exists to solve

Two directors reach the AFEP-MEDEF twelve-year independence limit in the same year, and the 40% gender arithmetic under the Copé-Zimmermann law constrains the order in which they can be replaced — an appointment that breaches it is void.

The remit

Serve on an audit committee that must be at least two-thirds independent
Oversee the group's CSRD reporting and the assurance behind its transition plan
Contribute to the board's succession sequencing across two simultaneous tenure expiries
Work alongside employee directors appointed under the PACTE law

What the sponsor will not compromise on

Financial or accounting expertise as required of an audit-committee member
Industrial or manufacturing sector depth at international scale
Working French — committee papers and minutes are in French at this issuer
Independence under the AFEP-MEDEF criteria, including no material business relationship

Terms

Engagement: Four-year seat, renewable within the twelve-year independence limit.
Compensation: €70,000 – €95,000 a year including audit-committee fee, resolved by the general meeting.
Cross-border: No nationality or residency test applies to a French director. The board's gender arithmetic governs the sequence of appointments, and language is a real requirement on this particular board.
Time commitment in this market: Typically 6–10 board meetings a year plus committee cycles and a strategy seminar; audit committees at CAC 40 issuers meet considerably more often.

Before you apply — France

No nationality or residency test applies to a director of a French société anonyme. The constraint on a French board is its composition arithmetic, not your passport.

Residency test: None.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-executive director attending board meetings requires no work authorisation. An executive seat — directeur général or a directoire seat — held by a non-EU national raises residence-permit questions and should be checked before acceptance.
Tenure limit once appointed: Twelve years. Under the AFEP-MEDEF Code a director loses independent status on passing twelve years' service, and the board must state the position each year.

The full France regime map

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
