Live Online Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Corporate Governance & Board Effectiveness Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 800
Boards are held responsible for strategy, risk and integrity, yet many directors join without structured guidance on what the role requires or how to measure their own performance. Weak oversight shows up as unchecked related-party dealings, poor succession, rubber-stamped budgets and surprises for shareholders and regulators. Over five days, participants study the OECD and G20 principles, regional governance codes such as the King reports, the legal duties of directors, board composition and independence, committee design, and the oversight of risk, audit and remuneration. They also practise board evaluation, annual agenda planning and stakeholder engagement.
The programme is aimed at non-executive and executive directors, company secretaries, chief executives, internal auditors, compliance heads and officials from state corporations, regulators, banks, SACCOs and listed or family businesses. Delivery is in classroom sessions, online or in-house for a board. Participants receive a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can benchmark your organisation against a governance code, draft committee charters, plan a board evaluation and brief fellow directors with clear recommendations.

About this course
Good corporate governance is now a condition for investment, lending and public trust. Regulators tighten disclosure rules, development finance institutions test the quality of boards before they commit funds, and shareholders ask harder questions about accountability. For state-owned enterprises and private firms alike, a board that does not function well is a strategic risk.
Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Corporate Governance & Board Effectiveness Training Course connects the rules with the behaviour of boards. It begins with the theory and purpose of governance, then reviews international principles, national company and securities legislation, sector regulation and voluntary codes, and the way “apply and explain” regimes work. Participants examine the legal duties of directors, the separation of board and management roles, board composition and diversity, the role of the chair and the company secretary, and the design of audit, risk, nomination and remuneration committees. Further sessions cover strategy oversight, risk and internal control, ethics, sustainability reporting, shareholder and stakeholder relations, and board evaluation.
Cases involve governance failures and well-run boards, and exercises draw on participants’ own organisations. The course closes with a governance improvement roadmap tailored to each participant.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the policy, legal and regulatory frameworks that apply to corporate governance.
- Compare international principles and governance codes and apply them to their organisation.
- Explain directors’ duties, liabilities and the division of responsibility between board and management.

- Strengthen oversight of strategy, risk, audit and internal control.
- Manage conflicts of interest, related-party transactions and ethical culture.
