Understanding Corporate Governance. Best practice and its Implementation

Duration: 3-days

Background to this programme

Corporate Governance (CG) is the cornerstone of all businesses, as it helps define an organisations financial behaviour as well as its senior people’s decision-making processes and accountability, it makes clear the responsibilities of the supervisory team, its investment viability and its transparency to all other stake/shareholders.

CG has developed over the years and is now blended into an organisations’ Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives for example environmental political and social impact, so the areas of governance have been expanded, and can/do change in different parts of the world.
Understanding the fundamentals of CG alone is not enough, implementing it as an important part of your strategy and ensuring that it forms part of a cohesive leadership teams’ approach, is an important factor.

Finally, as a senior executive programmes or aspiring board member understanding the importance of governance and how to live it daily is a critical part of your responsibilities.
This programme addresses all the elements above.

Who is it designed for:

Senior executives who currently have responsibility for CG, or for those who are moving into senior/board roles. This may be individuals who are working day-to-day in the organisation or sit outside the organisation in a supervisory capacity.
