Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance is more and more becoming a number one focus of many corporates around the world. The best practice frameworks seem to be evolving as are the measures that ensure good corporate governance practices.

How do you ensure that your increasingly demanding role translates into all round good corporate governance in your organization? How can you keep advancing your skills, get the relevant skills and align your self with the best practices world-wide.

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the Eastern, Central and Southern African Federation of Accountants (ECSAFA) implore all member bodies to comply with a Code of Ethics that meets or exceeds the stringent requirements they have set for use by professional bodies across the globe.

Based on the foregoing, the Botswana Institute of Accountants brings you a two day Corporate Governance and Corruption Workshop, a platform where you can debate and get answers to the above questions. The two day workshop will cover the following topics:

  1. Time to re-think Global Governance
  2. Corporate Governance and Strategy
  3. Directors and their responsibilities
  4. Functioning of the Board
  5. Financial Reporting and Communications
  6. Ethics and Fraud Prevention
  7. Integrated Sustainability Reporting
  8. A practical view on the triple bottom line
  9. The ethics of Governance
  10. Professionalism and Ethics & many more

This workshop will count towards the members of the Institute CPD at 100% hrs. 10% Discount will be offered if you register and pay by 11 November, 2008.

The above workshop will be held on November 18 & 19, 2008 in Gaborone.
