Regular Professional Training In Corporate Governance

Overview

Corporate governance systems have evolved over centuries, often in response to corporate failures or systemic crises. In recent years however, corporate governance has emerged as a discipline in its own right. Corporate governance is now linked to national governance. Sound corporate governance cannot be regarded as a luxury or an option for businesses in this 21st century.

For investors, clear evidence of sound corporate governance assures a better climate for investment. Sound corporate governance means good business. In order to fill the vacuum of systemic training for Corporate Directors, the Institute of Directors-Ghana has developed this professional course on corporate governance.
