- Module 1: Introduction to Corporate GovernanceCorporate governance is the set of policies, procedures, and practices that regulate the management and operation of an organisation. An organization's corporate governance is an essential component.1
- Module 2: Regulatory Frameworks and GuidelinesCorporate governance codes are collections of rules and precepts intended to guarantee that businesses are run responsibly and openly. The interactions between a company's management, board of directors, shareholders, and other stakeholders are outlined in these codes.1
- Module 3: Stakeholders in Corporate GovernanceIndividuals, organisations, or other entities with an interest in, ability to influence, or stake in, the decisions, actions, and overall performance of a firm are considered stakeholders in corporate governance. Stakeholder identification and classification is an essential component of good corporate governance.1
- Module 4: Corporate Governance StructuresThe governing body of a corporation is its board of directors (BoD), whose members are chosen by shareholders (if the company is public). The BoD's duties include setting the firm's strategy, supervising the management team, and defending the interests of stakeholders and shareholders.1
- Module 5: Corporate Governance and Organizational PerformanceFor every organisation to succeed and last, the relationships between governance and performance are essential. The structure and procedures that enable organisations to be managed, overseen, and held responsible are provided by effective governance.1
- Module 6: Introduction to Business EthicsIn regards to potentially contentious topics including corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility, fiduciary responsibilities, and much more, business ethics examines ethical business rules and practices. Business ethics frequently follow the law, but they can also serve as a fundamental set of rules that companies can go by to win over the public.1
- Module 7: Ethical Decision-MakingBased on specific duties or obligations, deontological theories (named after the Greek word for duty, deon) hold that particular behaviours are inherently right or wrong, meaning they are right or wrong regardless of the outcomes that may result from them. When a decision or action complies with a moral standard, it is considered right.Â1
- Module 8: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business strategy that firms use to focus on social effect rather than just profitability. Its primary goals are to increase sales, cultivate client loyalty, and improve the company's reputation.1
- Module 9: Emerging Trends in Corporate GovernanceThe success of organisations that rely on network coordination and data intelligence, like Google, Amazon, and Facebook, shows how technology has also altered how businesses operate.1
- Module 10: Practical Applications and ConclusionExamining the frameworks, arrangements, and procedures that direct and regulate an organization's operations is a necessary part of analysing real-world corporate governance concerns. For an organisation to be transparent, accountable, and to maintain moral behaviour, corporate governance is essential.1
