Training Course On Corporate Governance And Enterprise Sustainability

INTRODUCTION

Corporate governance is the way a corporation polices itself. In short, it is a method of governing the company like a sovereign state, instating its own customs, policies and laws to its employees from the highest to the lowest levels. Corporate governance is intended to increase the accountability of your company and to avoid massive disasters before they occur. The importance of corporate governance in today’s progressive and aggressive business environment cannot be denied.
