This course will enable you to

  • Realise the importance of corporate governance and why poor governance has led to corporate scandal in the past
  • Explore international frameworks and legislation, including how governance codes operate in different jurisdictions
  • Establish effective board management including remuneration and audit committees
  • Create successful business strategies through effective use of the corporate governance principles
  • About the course

      The collapse of Enron in the noughties provided the driving force for the development of strong corporate governance principles. More recently, however, a seemingly endless succession of corporate scandals, from Carillion to Wirecard, Greensill to Patisserie Valerie continue to focus the world's attention on the impact of poor corporate governance.

      Using real world examples and case studies throughout, Lisa Weaver's course blends theoretical underpinnings with practical advice on creating efficient and effective management structures that minimise risk.
