In terms of content, the journey starts with a detailed introduction to the subject matter. We look at different legal forms and the control mechanisms in place. A brief insight into the history of corporate governance and other forms of application round off this chapter. We continue with a legal classification of corporate governance in the various international legal systems and a presentation of the stewardship concept.
Subsequently, we look into the question of what Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) means and how it is or should be structured in terms of content. Good corporate governance is also measured by the structure of the management and the supervisory board, as well as remuneration. In detail, we will look at why independence and diversity are important for a thriving company.
An element flanking governance is risk management and compliance. We devote as much attention to this complex as to the area of internal and external audit. The course concludes with a look at the annual general meeting and its protagonists.
