Course overview
A corporation has so many moving parts, that no one knows everything that’s happening. Communications and documents are circulating all the time. Each interaction involves people whose mindsets, values, and interests won’t always align. Unfair influences, internal and external, can lead to unfair practices, mistrust, and even corruption.
By applying good corporate governance, your employees will ensure every business activity stays above board. The CCO plays a key role, but from the board to the employees, everyone models the right culture. Through transparency, accountability, training, and a refusal to compromise on governing policies, the business they work for protects against risks to its reputation and integrity, and stays competitive.
