TAKING THE HELM

THE CHAIRMAN AND BOARD'S ROLE IN APPROACHING ANTI-CORRUPTION

an ongoing series with Professor Mervyn King

This session in the Taking the Helm series explores the critical role of the chair and board in setting the tone for ethical leadership and addressing corruption risk within organisations.

As expectations around accountability, transparency, and integrity continue to rise, boards are increasingly called upon to take a proactive stance in preventing, identifying, and responding to corruption. This webinar examines how effective board leadership can strengthen governance frameworks and support ethical decision-making at the highest level.

What This Session Will Explore:

This discussion will focus on the strategic and oversight responsibilities of chairs and boards in navigating anti-corruption challenges, including:

  • The board’s role in establishing an ethical culture and zero-tolerance approach to corruption

  • Oversight of anti-corruption policies, controls, and reporting mechanisms

  • The importance of leadership tone, accountability, and transparency

  • Balancing regulatory compliance with values-driven governance

  • Strengthening trust with stakeholders through ethical leadership

The session is designed to prompt reflection on how boards can move beyond compliance toward meaningful, principled governance.

Professor Mervyn E. King

Renowned authority on corporate governance, ethics, and sustainability, and chair of the Taking the Helm webinar series.
