Course Summary

This training course is intended for Board Directors and Senior Managers who wish to grapple with good governance and strategic leadership. This training course is designed to provide delegates with a comprehensive overview of the roles, duties and responsibilities of Directors and Boards.

Sound governance is more than a ‘nice to have’, it delivers better results and outcomes as well as ensuring that regulatory demands are met. Good governance dictates the rules by which management and employees carry out the organization’s activities. It requires risks to be assessed, procedures to be complied with and an impartial audit function to ensure compliance and deliver improvements.

This training course highlights the importance of good governance practices for Boards and their relationship with risk management, compliance, and audit. 

Upholding the pillars of good governance requires sound policies and procedures combined with a supporting leadership culture cascaded throughout the organization.
