Global Corporate Governance Forum
Global Corporate Governance Forum
Global Corporate Governance Forum organized a training program targeted at professionals training corporate secretaries. The workshop was held in Johannesburg, South Africa and was attended by 21 delegates from 17 countries.
Global Corporate Governance Forum supported Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance's collaboration project with Mozambique. The project evolved into a long-term partnership and provided valuable lessons on how to make such collaboration work.
Dr. Prabirjit Sarkar, head of the Economics Department at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, discusses his latest research. His primary research interest is the connection between national legal systems, corporate governance, and economic performance.
Boards will confront disputes involving corporate governance issues that they are not equipped to resolve, but few directors see the need to learn about alternative dispute resolution approaches - until they end up with an ineffective board.
This paper discusses the board’s role in the governance of risk and the benefits of establishing a separate board-level risk-management committee - a need that applies to financial and nonfinancial institutions.
