Corporate Governance Training Funded By A Grant

I recently presented a training seminar, to a group of companies, on corporate governance, which was funded under the Business Growth Grant.

All of the companies have turnovers in excess of $2M.  They’re all gearing themselves up for new development opportunities.

Some of the companies are also involved in “joint venture/network” opportunity for which they felt they needed some additional training on corporate governance issues, especially as to how they react and relate to other directors when they become involved in a “joint venture/network” type corporate entity.

The key items that were discussed at the workshop included:

• Responsibilities/liabilities of directors
• Strategic goal
• Appointment of managing director
• Quality time
• Risk management strategies to protect the company’s assets
• Understanding financial accounts
• Understanding budgets and cashflow forecasts
• Regular monitoring of financial accounts
• Portfolio allocations within the company
• Board meetings
• Appointment of new directors
• Director assessment
• Director’s personal responsibilities
• Role in network
• Together with an update of government grants
