Effective Corporate Governance

Join us on:  25th March 2025 – 10.00am – 16.00pm (Registration at 09.30)

What’s it about?

Most of us have been shocked by corporate governance failings and ‘bad behaviour’ scandals from one organisation or another.  Sadly, these scandals are occurring far too often and in just recent months there have been reports of Carillion (financial irregularities), Boo-Hoo (unethical trading), News Group (Phone Hacking) and Axiom Ince (financial irregularities) to name just a few.

None of us want to be part of these stories, but as they have shown – many people, including lawyers, become involved and fail to do the ‘right thing’.

All these organisations, had Corporate Governance policies, but their failures prove that they lacked effective corporate governance

The key aim of this course is to re-think corporate governance and help ensure your Corporate Governance Programme is an Effective Corporate Governance Programme

 

More detail about the day:

We’ll explain the rules (to keep you out of jail) and how to make a behavioural shift required to create an ‘unstoppable culture of good governance’ – a culture that moves from box ticking to just ‘what we do around here’.

The topics we will cover include:

  • The relevant laws and the rules of Directorship and the personal responsibilities;
  • What ‘good’ looks like and the consequences of getting it wrong;
  • How to create a ‘can do’ and ‘want to do’ compliance culture; and
  • What makes people tick and how to engage and motivate your team to willingly do the ‘right thing’ (compliantly).

Who should attend:

Directors; non-executives; senior managers in leadership roles; legal & compliance professionals; and HR professionals.

Event details:

The event will be held at Grant Thornton’s London offices, 30 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1AG on 25th March 2025, 10.00am-16.00pm (Registration at 09.30).
