Course Summary

Corporate governance and compliance are critical elements in any organisation's framework, ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct. Corporate governance refers to the system by which companies are directed and controlled, encompassing the relationships between stakeholders such as shareholders, management, employees, customers, and the broader community.  

 

Compliance involves adherence to laws, regulations, and internal policies that govern business operations. These concepts are important because they can foster trust and confidence among investors, customers, and the public. Effective corporate governance and compliance mechanisms safeguard against unethical practices, financial mismanagement, and legal violations.  

 

They contribute to a business's long-term sustainability by promoting responsible decision-making, risk management, and a culture of integrity. Ultimately, a robust corporate governance and compliance framework protects stakeholders' interests and enhances the organisation's reputation and success in the global business landscape.
