Legal Framework of Governance

This informative half-day course examines legislation, case law and other regulations that underpin governance systems in companies and other organisations.

This course will help you:

  • understand both the enabling and limiting conditions of governance law
  • gain a practical overview of governance issues affected by the Australian legal system, the courts, ASIC and ASX
  • understand how the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 3rd edition, practically affect the regulation of governance.

The course uses case studies and recent examples of both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ governance practice.

Who should complete this course?

This course is ideal for assistants to the company secretary, board secretary and other governance para-professionals who are keen to increase their understanding of the legal framework and good governance.
