When it comes to corporate governance, it is crucial to have a thorough and applicable understanding of the roles, rights, and interactions at play.

You will analyze the roles and duties of corporate directors, management, and shareholders, then apply the laws surrounding fiduciary duties and the business judgment rule to various simulated corporate transactions or decisions. You will then determine how to avoid and reduce the risk of criminal liability arising within an organizational setting and apply this practical knowledge to business decisions. You’ll establish ways to minimize potential disruptions, honing the ability to navigate internal and external investigations into possible wrongdoing to a successful and efficient close. Ultimately, by building a plan to respond to anticipated questions and concerns from all types of stakeholders, you will be prepared to put your newfound knowledge into practice in your organization and beyond.
