The Forum is dedicated to advancing corporate governance in emerging-market and developing countries by creating and disseminating practical tools that provide expert guidance on corporate governance and its implementation.
Programs:
Corporate Governance Board Leadership Training
With the assistance of Institutes of Directors and other organizations, the Forum is training trainers to help board directors become “change agents” within their organizations for the adoption of corporate governance best practices.
One key element of this program is the Financial Markets Recovery Project, which is designed to equip bank boards to lead with integrity, develop the right skills for exercising oversight, and manage risks with informed judgement.
