The term "corporate governance" is recognisable to almost everyone because of the many shocking scandals occurring in companies and other organisations across the world, and regularly reported in the press. The notorious case of Enron and the associated demise of Arthur Andersen focussed the world’s attention on the corporate structure and management of business, attitudes to risk management, and the relationships of businesses with their external advisors.
But it’s not just big business that can benefit from good governance. Companies of all sizes will benefit from having good risk management strategies and, increasingly, accountants are being asked to advise on governance issues.
accountingcpd.net has launched a new online cpd course on Corporate Governance. The course explores the UK's Corporate Governance Code since its review in May 2010 and looks at the benefits of implementing good governance as best practice for business. The four hour online CPD course shows how to implement and use governance in business to identify problems, create successful strategies and effective board management.
