Corporate Governance: Effective Leadership in Corporate Committees

Corporate committees play a critical role in strengthening governance, enhancing oversight, and supporting informed decision-making at board and executive levels. Audit committees, risk committees, remuneration committees, and other governance bodies are increasingly expected to operate with clarity, independence, and accountability while addressing complex organizational, regulatory, and stakeholder challenges.

The Corporate Governance: Effective Leadership in Corporate Committees course is designed for professionals who participate in, support, or interact with corporate committees and are seeking to enhance their effectiveness at an intermediate level.

Within BOOST, this program focuses on developing the leadership, governance, and decision-making capabilities required for committees to function as high-performing governance mechanisms rather than procedural bodies.

The course emphasizes how effective committee leadership contributes to strong corporate governance outcomes. Participants explore committee roles and mandates, leadership dynamics, information flow, decision-making processes, and relationships with boards, management, and external stakeholders. Special attention is given to ethical conduct, independence, and collective responsibility.
