In supporting better shareholder engagement, companies are setting a higher level of disclosure of information to enable shareholders to make a professional investment decision. Accordingly, Board need to regularly assess and act on the disclosure obligations that demonstrate good best practices that are transparent and material both positive or negative in moving the organisation forward. Directors today must benchmark against the highest standards of business integrity, ethics and professionalism, incorporating the new Corporate Liability requirements.

Objective: Enable participants to learn the important Corporate Governance features and know how to understand the legal duties of both Executive and Non-Executive Directors.
