Legal Obligations of Officers and Directors
This course aims to provide a working knowledge of the key principles and statutory requirements associated with being a director or officer of an organisation.
Course Description
All corporate governance practitioners need to understand the Australian governance framework and have a basic understanding of the Australian legal system. Although corporate governance has a broad meaning that covers various disciplines, including management, finance, accounting and law, the focus of corporate governance tends to be firstly on minimum compliance obligations and secondly on the structures, policies and procedures that go above and beyond the legal standard and instil a culture of compliance and good governance.
