Course description

Corporate governance is a distinct field involving the mechanisms by which companies are controlled and directed, including legal, regulatory, administrative, and market-based practices. This course covers the allocation of rights and responsibilities among business participants and ensures accountability of those managing companies. It provides a focused, principled overview of governance arrangements in Australia, situated within broader policy and theoretical contexts shaping modern corporate governance law and practice.
