Dear Governance Professional The term ‘corporate governance’ has been described as “the set of processes, customs, policies, laws and institutions affecting the way in which a corporation is directed, administered or controlled.” In South Africa’s case, the elements attributed to this definition have changed quite dramatically over the past few years, with a definite shift from a functional business focus on company problems to a public policy approach that pursues investor and non-shareholder stakeholder protection. This change in the perception of corporate governance reflects the broader changes in South Africa’s view of business corporations and the community in which they operate. This year, the Institute for International Research (IIR), in partnership with CGF Research Institute, has looked beyond the many traditional perceptions of corporate governance in order to explore South Africa’s more ‘intimate’ governance dilemmas at our 2nd Annual Governance Week conference. At this event, we will bring you some of South Africa’s leading corporate governance professionals for an informative and enlightening discussion. After the year we have just had, surely it is clear that we need to re-examine how we do business in this country and it is our hope that Governance Week 2013 will provide a vehicle for this transformation. I look forward to seeing you in June. Kind regards Cynthia Makarutse Project Manager: Conferences Institute for International Research Speaker line up at Governance Week 2013 includes: We are pleased to inform you that through our years of strategic association with CGF Research Institute, IIR has successfully negotiated for 20 lucky companies wishing to make use of CGF’s web-based Corporate Governance Body of Knowledge® that the usual corporate licence fee of R90,000.00 and R40,000.00 (ex Vat) for listed and unlisted companies respectively, will be waived.
