A Certified Corporate Governance Program course is a course that teaches participants how to become effective board members and directors of corporations, by learning the principles and practices of corporate governance. Corporate governance is the system of rules, policies, and processes that govern how a corporation is directed and controlled, and how it interacts with its stakeholders, such as shareholders, employees, customers, regulators, and society.
