Annual Corporate Governance & Director Duties Excellence 2020Date: 2nd - 5th March 2020 Doha, Qatar
- This advanced workshop will examine traditional and emerging duties that directors, both executive and non-executive must fullfil and get an understanding of how good corporate governance supports their capability to do this. Traditional duties, such as the long-term viability of the organisation, fiduciary responsibilities and sound corporate leadership remain important yet our ability to maintain high standards in our duty-of-care are being challenged by new technical and socio-political developments. Cyber-security, environmental concerns, stewardship practices and financial audit reform are high on the agenda of governments and regulators.
- Our four days together will reveal innovative and practical approaches to governance so that the organisation can retain administrative and operational excellence during normal and turbulent times. Board members, senior officials and managers will understand what is necessary for effective adaptation in the execution of their duties, by enabling response to a continually changing business environment.
