The corporation you work for has so many moving parts, no one knows everything that’s happening. Communications and documents are circulating all the time. Each interaction involves people whose mindsets, values, and interests won’t always align. Unfair influences, internal and external, can lead to unfair practices, mistrust, and even corruption.

By applying good corporate governance, you’ll ensure every business activity stays above board. The Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) plays a key role, but from the board to the employees, everyone models the right culture. Through transparency, accountability, training, and a refusal to compromise on governing policies, the business you work for protects against risks to its reputation and integrity, and stays competitive.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Explain what corporate governance is and the principles of the Corporate Governance Code
• Define good practice for each of the roles on the board, and the importance of the CCO’s role
• Define the purpose and responsibility of the committees in corporate governance

Why take this course?

Good corporate governance guards a business against conflicts of interest and unethical influences – even from individuals who may try to promote their preferences. So, if you work in finance or management at any level, this course is for you. You’ll learn corporate governance and the Corporate Governance Code, and recognize good practices and responsibilities for every role, including the CCO. And you’ll also explore the role and purpose of each committee involved.
