In this fast-paced world, where unforeseen change has become the norm, it has become imperative for organisations to implement good corporate governance. As a result of the institutionalisation of corporate governance in South Africa through the publication of the King Report on Corporate Governance, which has subsequently been superseded by the King Report, there has been a greater demand by stakeholders for increased transparency in organisations.
Our team assists large and small organisations with a variety of best practice corporate governance services in line with current legislation inclusive of, but not limited to, the King Report on Corporate Governance, the Companies Act and the various corporate governance codes.
