Effective Corporate Governance

Join us on:  12th December 2024 – 10.00am – 16.00pm

What’s it about?

Most of us have been shocked by the corporate governance failings at the Post Office. Sadly, this is not an isolated incident; there are plenty of other cases. In just recent months there have been reports of Carillion (financial irregularities), Boohoo (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 the Post Office enquiry has shown – many people. including lawyers, become involved and fail to do the ‘right thing’.

The Post Office, like most other large corporates, 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 Thursday 12th December 2024, 10.00am-16.00pm.
