Strategy Governance for Board

Deriving Benefit from Strong Corporate Governance

Course Overview

This Strategy Governance for Board training course is intended for Board Directors and Senior Managers who wish to grapple with good governance and strategic leadership. Sound governance is more than a ‘nice to have’, it delivers better results and outcomes as well as ensuring that regulatory demands are met.

It requires risks to be assessed, procedures to be complied with and an impartial audit function to ensure compliance and deliver improvements.

The training course highlights the importance of good governance practices for Boards and their relationship with risk management, compliance, and audit. To uphold the pillars of good governance requires sound policies and procedures combined with a supporting leadership culture cascaded throughout the organisation.
