Auditing Corporate Governance

The concept of corporate governance is nowadays given much publicity. And rightly so, since good governance is the cornerstone of a successful organisation. Nevertheless, despite all the guidance and literature available, instances of poor governance practices in several entities across the world keep featuring. In any organisation a sound corporate governance structure calls for the active contribution of several players. Amongst these, internal audit functions with their role in providing independent and objective opinions, and insights continue to play a pivotal role in assuring that corporate governance is robust and effective.

This session will provide an overview of key milestones in the development of corporate governance, assess its core components and explore both the challenges and different approaches in conducting governance audits.
