Overview
This Corporate Governance training course helps delegates to plan, formulate and implement modern international corporate governance principles. The topics covered by this programme are blended with case studies drawn from recent international precedents. Workshop projects that simulate real-life experiences will help to reinforce key principles of corporate governance. This course starts by presenting the new role of board committees and directors’ responsibilities and powers, and continues with best practice in implementation of governance in day-to-day activities. Costs and benefits of best practice governance are put into perspective, to open the discussion about stakeholder relationship management. The course will also discuss the challenges of implementing best practice corporate governance in emerging markets and will include the specific requirements of banks and financial institutions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.
An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
