Overview
As the state capture inquiry continues, one realises that the common thought that says private sector vs public sector is equal to good vs bad no longer applies. During this inquiry, a long list of State-Owned Companies has come up versus an equally long list of private corporations, some of them transnational.
It is evident that good corporate governance has taken a big knock across the whole economy and something needs to be done urgently! The King IV Report is a voluntary code that sets in place principles and best practices that every organisation must follow.
We have invited Dr. Adv Leigh Hefer to discuss corporate governance, ethics and risk with a focus on the King IV Report. Important to note is that the King IV Report now contains mandatory requirements for JSE listed entities. The webinar is scheduled for 17 September 2019 from 09:00 to 11:00.
