IC-A Good Corporate Governance Diploma

The Diploma is aimed at:

  • Board Directors with more than 10 years’ experience on Boards of Directors.

  • Candidates who are accredited with the IC-A Certificate.

  • Candidates who, with less than 10 years’ Board experience, have passed the course on the Duties of the Director and the Board of Directors and the Director and the Law (in house or in the general call for applications).

The Diploma course delves into specific issues to make corporate governance more robust and sustainable. During 2 days it focuses on developing practical activities and trends for the Professional Director.

1. Risk Management and, in particular, Emerging Risks.

Risk governance is now, by law, a key and non-delegable function of the Board. It provides the essential knowledge the Board needs to promote and ensure an environment and systems that adequately govern corporate risks, and in particular emerging risks. Without risk there is no business development or value growth, but it must be managed effectively and not left to chance.

2. Investor Relations.

Whether publicly traded companies, unlisted companies, or family businesses with shareholders and investors, or those that may need and seek financial partners in the future, it is crucial that the Board of Directors understands the concerns of investors and how they would like to be treated and informed by the company, thus maintaining their support and continued participation.

3. Evaluation of Councils.

Effective boards evaluate their performance and results and report on improvements implemented for better corporate governance. Who should promote board evaluations, how, and how often? Best practices and legal requirements (LSC).

4. Initial Public Offerings and Other Corporate Transactions.

5. ESG/Sustainability

ESG criteria have gained significant importance in recent years and have given rise to the figure of the Socially Responsible Investor. Environmental, social, and governance factors are the most valued by today’s investors, who favor companies committed to the environment, society, and good corporate governance practices.

6. The Board of Directors (Role Play).

Assignment of roles and holding a Board of Directors meeting following an agenda and stipulated time of 2 hours, based on a practical case and an informative case of a Board of Directors meeting with tensions and conflicts of interest.

Key trends in Corporate Governance, in order to understand the potential impact of these trends on the organization itself.

8. Best Practices of Board Committees.

The functions assigned by law to Audit, Appointments and Remuneration, and Sustainability Committees are becoming increasingly numerous. Understanding their best practices is key to ensuring transparent, efficient, and responsible governance.
