Mastering Board Governance Masterclass 2026

Program Overview

Many African countries have adopted governance codes modeled on global standards such as the OECD Principles, the World Bank governance frameworks and the IFC corporate governance guidelines. Countries like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya have also comprehensive governance codes like the King V, requiring independent directors, audit committees, risk management structures and transparency in financial reporting. Most African companies’ boards and governance frameworks look impressive on paper – independent directors, detailed charters, ESG disclosures, annual evaluations. Yet many governance failures occur despite these structures. The gap lies in the illusions many boards sometimes mistake for effectiveness – strong on paper but weaker in practice and enforcement.
