SEC-accredited corporate governance training for board directors
Having effective board directors translate to good corporate governance and better business performance. To help board directors and key officers of public and publiclylisted firms align themselves with global standard on effective governance and to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandated requirement to attend a corporate governance program to be eligible for election or re-election in the board or assume key positions in management, the Center for Global Best Practices (CGBP) will host a training entitled, “Corporate Governance Board Effectiveness Best Practices” to be held on Nov. 8, at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City. Check www.cgbp.org for a complete list of best practices programs. You may also call landlines in Manila (+63 2) 88427148/ 59 or (+63 2) 85568968/ 69, or in Cebu (+63 32) 5123106 or 07.
This one-day corporate governance program is designed to address two important issues:
(1) To provide capacity building for board directors by presenting to them the global best practices in board effectiveness drawn from the most updated global research of the largest accounting firm in the world – PriceWaterhouse Coopers / Isla Lipana to be presented by former PWC chairperson Judith V. Lopez. She will also share her valuable insights and experiences being a board director of many companies across various industries;
(2) To help all board directors of public and publicly listed companies comply with SEC-mandated requirement for them to attend a corporate governance training yearly – for their eligibility of election or re-election in the board of a corporation.
This program will also feature, Jonathan Ravelas, who is a chief market strategist of the largest commercial bank in the Philippines – BDO. He will handle the foundational topics on basic corporate governance, updates on new regulations and a 30-minute economic briefing with relevance to board directors.
This program is designed to provide a new perspective on strategy and implementation, risk management, corporate ethics, monitoring company performance, management evaluation and succession, board dynamics and many more. This learning initiative will also cover the aspects of financial reporting – defining its framework, the roles of board management, CFOs and controllers in its preparation, analysis and interpretation.
Required topics of SEC and a glimpse of the current ASEAN Scorecard will also be discussed.
