Program
on Corporate
Governance
24 - 25 March, 2015
PROPOSED SESSION PLAN
The system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is
directed and controlled, Corporate Governance involves balancing the
interests of the many stakeholders in a company - these include its
shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers,
government and the community.
THEMATIC AREA OF TRAINING
About the Program:
Corporate governance practices are evolving in
response to the recent global financial crisis and a
spate of corporate frauds in the recent years. In
India, the Companies Act 2013 has put corporate
governance at the centerstage of business. In the
21st century, it is only the corporations which move
beyond compliance and adopt responsible business
practices that will sustain and succeed. Such
corporations constantly innovate upon corporate
governance codes to match regulator and
stakeholder expectations. This Programme will aid
academicians and practitioners in making an
effective transition to the new legislative era, as the
Companies Act 2013 has taken India into a new
regime of corporate governance with redefined
roles and widened accountability of the members of
the board. It will also have a multiplier effect in
spreading knowledge of corporate governance in
the country as the trained faculty will train others.
