“Corruption wrecks good governance, inhibits development and sustains despotism. This can translate into economic and societal failure: not only an affront to decency but the tinder that ignites conflict. Stamping out corruption altogether may be unrealistic. Making the world less hospitable to crooks is not” - Financial Times, London 11 April 2007

Directors, managers and employees need to understand the concepts and regulations behind Corporate Governance in all fields of enterprise in SA today. This includes King II, social responsibility, sustainability, the triple bottom line and fiduciary duties of corporate officers.

Course outcomes include:

  • What King II is all about, and why it is important in corporate SA
  • The impact of leadership on corporate governance
  • The meaning of corruption and its impact
  • Understanding examples of poor corporate governance, worldwide and in SA
  • Public sector compliance, in addition to corporate affairs
  • How ethics impact on corporate and individual performance
  • The role of codes of ethics and conduct

Who should attend this workshop?

All employees, managers and executives with organizational responsibility for people and assets. This applies particularly to directors, compliance officers, company secretaries and those with financial responsibility in organizations large and small, both in the private and public sectors.
