Overview
Directors are expected to act in good faith and for a proper purpose, yet conflicts of interest remain common, with high-profile cases like PwC Australia’s misuse of classified information and the FTX-Alameda scandal highlighting the issue. Some directors knowingly engage in conflicts, while others may be unaware of their duties or fail to identify such misconduct in peers. This program explores real-world cases of conflicts of interest and equips directors with practical steps to fulfill their duties, including insights into recent amendments to Bursa Malaysia’s Listing Requirements.
The program is delivered via 13 bite-sized videos which includes 3 quizzes and a live session that participants may choose to attend at the end of the videos to supplement their online learning or to ask questions.
- Learn about directors’ obligations under the Companies Act 2016.
- Gain insights into the recent amendments to Bursa Malaysia’s Listing Requirements..
- Gain knowledge about recent cases involving conflict of interest.
- Understand what amounts to informed consent.
- Apply the knowledge to carry out their duty to act in the best interests of the company.
