Introduction

All corporate governance practitioners need to understand the governance framework and have a basic understanding of the legal system. Although corporate governance has a broad meaning that covers various disciplines, including management, finance, accounting and law, the focus of corporate governance tends to be firstly on minimum compliance obligations and secondly on the structures, policies and procedures that go above and beyond the legal standard and instil a culture of compliance and good governance. The core principles of corporate governance are founded in common law and statutory obligations that are owed by corporate entities or their senior officers and directors.

The aim of this course is to outline the various definitions and legal frameworks that underpin corporate governance and provide an understanding of the key principles and statutory requirements associated with being a director or officer of an organization.
