Course details

Effectively, new regulatory requirements have been established, while existing codes of governance have been revised. Such efforts aim to focus on requirements that should be fulfilled by an organisation's management body and enhance three areas of governance: remuneration, risk management, and internal control.

For the corporate governance framework of banks and investment firms, there are detailed legislative rules and guidelines issued by the relevant supervisory authorities such as the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the European Central Bank (ECB), and the national supervisory authorities.
