Certified Corporate Governance Professional (CCGP)

Course Overview

As corporate governance is capturing the intensified interest from business schools and legislatures, the need for Certified Corporate Governance Professionals (CCGP) is increasing. Explore a spectrum of governance models designed to optimize the dynamic relationship between companies and stakeholders. Governance models start with Shareholder Wealth Maximization (SWM) that stresses owners right, as applied in the US and UK, or discover alternative models in Germany or Japan that actively involve stakeholders like workforce and bankers.

Our program focuses on board membership structures, whether one or two-tiered, exploring board dynamics, committee functions, and duties, including the audit committee and the appointment and remuneration committee. Engage in dynamic discussions on the role of the chairman and the impact of institutional investors, as we provide you with valuable insights to navigate the complexities of modern governance practices.
