Board composition, independence, diversity, and the risk management and internal control provisions that Hong Kong listed issuers report against each year.
The Corporate Governance Code sets the expectations for how a Hong Kong listed issuer is run: how its board is composed, how independence is preserved, how risk is managed, and how all of that is disclosed to the market.
This course covers the Code's structure — mandatory disclosure requirements, code provisions on a comply-or-explain basis, and recommended best practices — and then works through the substance. Board composition and the role of independent non-executive directors, the tenure and over-boarding provisions that constrain long-serving INEDs, and the board skills matrix and diversity requirements.
It goes on to the board committees, directors' duties and continuous professional development, and the risk management and internal control framework including the annual review and its disclosure. The course closes with the corporate governance report itself and the disclosure weaknesses that most often attract comment.
