Course
Learning Objectives Government-owned
and private enterprises and utilities in today's global market are facing the
dual challenges of earning a relationship of trust with both their customers
and their investors. Essential to this relationship is the ability to
demonstrate to the public and the investment community that senior management
understands the importance of providing accurate and reliable information in
order to protect the interests of shareholders and consumers alike. As service
providers are an essential element of the market economy, senior managers and
Board members are being held to a higher standard in the domain of corporate
governance and must be prepared to meet the challenges and the scrutiny the
future holds.
Successful enterprises will be those that enact effective
policies that enable shareholders and investors to make informed decisions and
participate in a company's activities through transparent and clear corporate
procedures. Boards of Directors and Senior Management must fully familiarize
themselves with the tools and requirements of corporate governance to ensure
compliance and instill confidence.
IP3's
course Corporate Governance Strategies for Public and Private
Enterprises is designed to prepare executives for these forthcoming
changes. Through presentations, case studies, and on-site meetings with leading
public and private experts and institutional investors, participants will gain
new knowledge and skills and bring these to bear in developing their own
corporate governance Action Plan.
