| Why is Corporate Governance Important? 

Good corporate governance brings many benefits to individual companies and overall markets, including improving performance, increasing access to finance, and fostering sustained growth. In Myanmar, the new Companies Act – passed in December 2017 – is modernizing company formation and management as well as demanding stronger oversight and corporate governance structures among the country’s corporations. These are important developments for Myanmar’s overall investment climate and ones that require boards of directors and management to strengthen the accountability and transparency of their companies.

Building your company’s corporate governance structures, policy framework, and practices involves putting in place measures that can be implemented over the short, medium, and long term. Companies that are willing to undergo corporate governance changes send a strong signal to the market that they aspire to higher integrity and transparency standards. Such changes will also improve operational efficiency and performance, create greater value for shareholders, and attract more investors.

 

| About the Program

The Governance for Directors (formerly Corporate Governance Action Planning Workshop) is one of the flagship offerings of MIoD’s Learning Series. The two-half day course provides a deep dive into the fundamentals of the corporate governance framework and helps directors and executives develop a plan for implementing effective governance practices in their companies.

Developed based on IFC methodology, the workshop is facilitated by international and Myanmar directors, industry experts, and corporate governance professionals. It is delivered through interactive and dynamic sessions, aiming to:

  • Explain the basic corporate governance principles and why they are important for Myanmar companies.
  • Examine the role, structure, and function of the board of directors.
  • Present best practices to improve management control functions, including audit, risk, and internal control.
  • Present other pertinent governance topics such as shareholder rights, conduct, and disclosure.
