Effective Corporate Governance Course

 Location: London (Central)

This course reviews all the principal aspects of corporate governance in the United Kingdom and covers current rules, regulations and best practice.

With the recurrence of major corporate scandals surfacing fairly regularly, a clear recognition and understanding of the inter-related responsibilities of directors, shareholders, auditors, regulators and the current legislative background to commercial activities is a critical factor in the limitation of similar problems arising in future.

Participants will gain an effective working knowledge of the corporate responsibilities of those who control, manage and monitor the activities of a quoted company for the benefit of its shareholders and other stakeholders.
