Corporate Governance & Compliance
Latest
Corporate governance and compliance of organisations in the public and private sector is increasingly becoming a focal point of business and government strategy, culture and growth. It has also received renewed interest from local and global regulators following several prominent corporate collapses in the recent past.
Obligations of directors and government officials are subject to constant change and varying frameworks of rules, relationship, systems and processes. They are also held to a higher standard of social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility relates to important social, safety, health and environmental factors to which company management and government must accord adequate regard.
In South Africa, good governance is not only regulated by legislation and common law, but principles also contained in the King IV Report, and for those who want to be measured at a much higher standard, international regulations on climate change.
