Corporate Governance (Malaysia)

A webinar presenting a conceptual and practical perspective to managing and reporting corporate governance practices for businesses.

18:00 - 19:00 (Malaysia time)

Date: 11 December 2024

The 2010s witnessed a drastic growth of economic prosperity around the globe but at the same time, we also see the mushrooming of accounting scandals and corporate failures arising from unsustainable growth. Effective corporate governance therefore becomes vital in addressing this agency problem and ensuring effective management of businesses to maximise the values of shareholders and other stakeholders. The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG) introduced in 2000, with latest updates in 2021, has been a significant tool for corporate governance reform and has influenced corporate governance practices of companies positively.  

This webinar presents a conceptual and practical perspective to managing and reporting corporate governance practices for businesses. It seeks to help participants:

  • Evaluate the basic concepts and practices of corporate governance
  • Assess the MCCG management framework and reporting requirements
  • Review and reflect on your role in an organisation for corporate governance management and reporting 

Webinar outline:

  • Agency relationships, scandals, and corporate governance
  • The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance framework and key elements
  • Effective governance and disclosure requirements
