The 2007 financial crisis that challenged many corporations, even national economies, underscores the importance of acquiring knowledge and expertise in developing a code of best practices in corporate governance, essential for the development of organizational policy and procedure. The financial crisis not only raised questions on the conduct of the affected corporations but had and is having a global impact on corporate and industry behaviour. Candidates equipped with a good knowledge of corporate governance would develop a clear understanding of corporate structures, processes, policies, roles and responsibilities, crucial for the proper direction and control of businesses and organizations not only for their immediate but also greater stakeholders.
