Background and purpose of the programme

South Africa is regarded worldwide as being a leader in the field of Corporate Governance and the various King Reports released over the years attracted worldwide attention. The King IV report released in November 2016 have further simplified and strengthened this practice. King IV is considered one of the most relevant and progressive corporate governance reports in the world.

UJ has joined forces with the Institute of Directors Southern Africa to present a certificate programme in corporate governance that will assist organizations as well as public enterprises to come to terms with the principles and practises of sound corporate governance.

A multidisciplinary approach is followed to cover all the important aspects of the King Report. Sound academic perspectives are combined with practical experience of corporate governance. Assessment takes place in the form of case studies and a written assessment where participants have to demonstrate both their knowledge and practical skills in corporate governance.

Programme

The course consists of two blocks of lectures, a written assessment and case study assignments. A certificate will be awarded to participants who attend all the lectures and successfully complete the assessment and assignments with a final mark of 50% and above.
