However, the public sector faces higher expectations for good governance, as they serve the public while complying with regulations and ethics. Over the years, global crises have constrained the policy, operational and fiscal capacities of the sector. Hence, governments need to reinforce resilience in governance frameworks and risk management.
In this webinar, we will explore the challenges faced by the sector in different jurisdictions, the role of the Corporate Secretary in empowering governance, and how to future-proof frameworks in building proactive and resilient governments that serve the best interest of the citizens.
This webinar will examine:
- Failures in corporate governance in the Public Sector – Lessons Learnt
- Current and Future Challenges faced by Governments
- Digital Transformation for Future-Fit Governments
