“Corporate Governance is a journey, not a destination and

Why You Should Attend?

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE is becoming increasingly dynamic with the current standard of business environment.
The issue of governance has been in the limelight of many reputable companies in recent years. The cases involved
are the role of board members and its challenges, assessment of risk and control environment and most importantly
performance and accountability. It is therefore vital for businesses to keep abreast with the unexpected changes and strengthen the
standard of corporate governance according to the contemporary development.

Distinguishing oneself in the extreme competition requires not only brilliant leadership but also good corporate governance as it leads
to sustainable growth for the company. While leaders work towards understanding and managing risks adequately, it is also important to
instil an effective ethical standard in the organization. This is mainly to avoid conspiracies of silence in the workforce as it may raise critical
ethical dilemmas. Thus, encouraging whistle blowers enable the organization to form a solid group of board members.

transition period and be IFRS READY! With a vision to further enhance Malaysia’s Corporate Governance, be prepared to obtain unlimited
