Corporate Governance
Globally there
is a need to improve corporate governance standards, this
requirement has been re-energised recently, with the increased
scrutiny on the ethical performance of organisations within
today's business environment. There is very much a need to
educate most businesses, both in the theory and the practice
of effective corporate governance. Thereby, developing a tool
kit of concepts and principles that can be effectively implemented
and monitored on-going within an organisation. Therefore to
understand and examine the heart of "best practice"
corporate governance is an essential requirement. The objective
being to operationalise and/or enhance sound corporate governance
within your corporation through effective compliance management
for the overall benefit of the business and the shareholders/stakeholders,
thereby enhancing the performance and reputational image of
the corporation in its entirety.
Within today's
business environment, a corporation must prove and maintain
a foundation of trust. Such trust includes, the trust of their
employees, their customers, their investors, the regulators
and the general public, in order to be successful. No corporation
can successfully compete in the long term without defined
corporate governance standards supported by strong and effective
compliance controls. Good Corporate Governance begins with
Sound Risk and Compliance processes. It should be noted that
the level of acceptable risk is negotiable and can be priced,
but Compliance Controls are normally fixed and are often subject
to being regulatory or legally driven.
There is no
such thing as a values neutral company, the company either
promotes good ethics or allows bad ethics to develop.
