Corporate governance is the set of processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions affecting the way a corporation is directed, administered or controlled. Corporate governance also includes the relationships among the many stakeholders involved and the goals for which the corporation is governed. The principal stakeholders are the shareholders/members, management, and the board of directors. Other stakeholders include employees, customers, creditors (e.g., banks, bond holders), suppliers, regulators, and the community at large. Corporate governance is a multi-faceted subject. This programme aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to manage complex governance issues. In particular, learners will develop effective decision making skills, focus on strategic planning, sound financial and performance management and increased transparency and accountability in day to day operations.

The objective of the programme is to provide:

* knowledge on the fundamentals of corporate governance and related areas;

* insight into the legal and regulatory frameworks of corporate governance;

* knowledge on the roles and responsibilities of company boards, committees and directors; and

* experience on corporate governance practices in different industries.

The programme has been developed in collaboration with Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) as Knowledge Partner.
