Governance 101

Governance

This is an applied and structured introduction to the Companies Act, and Directors duties.   It commences with an introduction to the legal structure of a Company as distinct from the sole trader, and Partnership form of business enterprise and explores the limits of the concept of shareholder limited liability.

To ensure appropriate attention to the NZ legal framework two small group exercises are used in relationship to a case study.  The first is a stakeholder identification exercise (Small group exercise – group feedback).  The second is a governance behaviour exercise (Small group exercise plenary session feedback).

Participant Materials: include a colour version of the PowerPoint slide presentation with space for note taking, a word document of the core content, and extracts from Legislation and relevant judgements.

The Programme is 4 hours in length and costs $650 + GST per person; Group rates can be negotiated for 6 or more participants.
