Since its inception in March 2000, the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (‘MCCG’) has been revised several times to remain robust and relevant, in tandem with changes to the corporate landscape, both locally and globally. In its quest to promote Board leadership and oversight of sustainability, the Securities Commission of Malaysia recently updated the MCCG to take effect from 28 April 2021.

This half-day webinar aims to apprise Directors, Company Secretaries and Management on the rationale of the updates, what the updates constitute and their implications to the listed corporation, its Directors and Management.

The programme will include topics such as:

1. Introduction - definition of Corporate Governance ('CG')
2. The CG journey in Malaysia thus far
3. Key features of the MCCG (the "C.A.R.E" approach)
4. Regulatory requirements on disclosure of CG Practices by listed corporations
