Are you dreading a dry and technical analysis of corporate reporting and disclosures? Don’t!

The course will focus on practical examples of boards and directors that have performed (or failed to perform) diligence before joining boards.

We will investigate the risks you are well-qualified to take and the boards where your skills and experiences will be most highly valued; helping you to progress your board career by becoming recognised as an important factor in the success and sustainability of the companies you join.
