Course Description:

'' In recent times, society as a whole has become more aware of the need for effective and accountable governance in large corporations, where mistakes or mismanagement can have wide-ranging social effects. High-profile company failures such as Enron, One.Tel and HIH have raised public awareness of the need for directors to be personally accountable for their company’s legal compliance and social responsibility. Yet, all too often, deficiencies in corporate governance are only discovered after companies file for bankruptcy or are placed in the hands of receivers.
Now, more than ever before, company boards and their directors need to pay far more attention to their company’s strategic direction, processes, financial performance and behaviour in the market place.
