Overview   

One of the ways a company can ensure its longevity is through the setting up of a sound and appropriate governance structure that is guarded by ethically driven directors who can steer the company into prosperity.  

In South Africa, corporate governance is informed by statutes, common law, codes of best practice, and regulations. The Companies Act 71 of 2008 deals with company law and its enforcer is the CIPC while the King IV Code on Corporate Governance prescribes good governance principles and practices that an organisation should follow. Many corporate scandals that surface now and then in the media are an indication of governance weaknesses brought about by a failure to follow and adhere to the above.
