Course overview

Corporate governance is a complex area that needs to be fully understood by directors to achieve the role of valued and trusted advisor within the business.

There is a lot of administration in the role of the company secretary and director but that’s not all you should be known for. This course will help you master the basics of corporate governance, giving you the knowledge to develop and take on more responsibility which should lead to you becoming a respected person of influence and, in turn, having a more fulfilling role.

By understanding the benefits of corporate governance you will add value to your business and become an enabler, build relationships and effectively use your influencing skills to maximise your impact and value.

The expert trainer will take you through the common challenges encountered and answer questions about the particular scenarios you’re facing.
