Making Corporate Governance Work for You- Maximising Effectiveness of Company Boards
One day seminar by Dr Madhav Mehra,
President - World Council for Corproate Governance
Directors are under siege as never before. Shareholders, investors, regulators, NGOs and courts are all examining their role and scrutinising their decisions ever more minutely and in full glare of media. The aftermath of the Sarbanes Oxley Act in US and Derek Higgs Review in UK and Naresh Chandra Committee’s report in India has only added to the already onerous duties of directorship. Directors themselves are terribly confused over their role. While on one side there are calls for abolition of non-executive directors, there is, on the other hand, a clamour for the enhancement of their role in the corporations. The subject of corporate governance, though ever so vital after successive accounting frauds, has never seemed more muddled. There is an urgent need, therefore, to understand this concept and how it can work for you as an investor, shareholder, fund manager, CEO, company director, lawyer, banker, insurer, political leader, trade union leader, corporation’s employee, supplier, customer and ordinary citizen.
It is because of this that Centre For Corporate Governance together with World Council for Corporate Governance is organizing a one day seminar on " Making Corporate Governance work for you -Maximising Effectiveness of Company Boards ".
The seminar will give you upto the minute intelligence and alert you to the new area of risk and opportunities in corporate management. It is designed to help you internalize how corporate boards can respond to today’s challenges and maximize their effectiveness.
