The notorious case of Enron focused the world’s attention on the corporate structure and management of business. The associated demise of Arthur Andersen shocked the accounting profession.

Using real world examples and case studies throughout, Lisa Weaver’s course blends theoretical underpinnings with practical advice on creating efficient and effective management structures that minimise risk. It is fully up to date with the Corporate Governance Code which was last revised in May 2010.
