Why Attend

The Business Case for Corporate Governance and Director Development Workshop will assist participants to develop commitment to good corporate governance, make companies and Institutions both more attractive to investors and lenders, and more profitable.

From board selection and strategic decision making to day-to-day operations and legal compliance, corporate governance is a way for companies and institutions to create a framework for sound business practices, sustained growth, and risk management.

Different organisations have different development requirements at board level, depending on the experience of their directors, their sector and their operating environment. This program covers all aspects of effective corporate governance training – for private companies, quoted companies, international operations and non-commercial organisations such as charities. To help narrow down the content of a corporate governance training course / workshop, this module has been developed to cover all the key issues:
