Amec Opinion – Accountable |
|
|
|
|
Of the species that inhabit Boards of Directors, there are two that are probably the most pernicious ones: the “accomplice” and the “dodger.”
The accomplice is the one who agrees with everything. He or she arrives at the meeting, not necessarily having read the background materials, and nods to everything others say. In fact, whether he has previously read the material or not is irrelevant once he will agree with every single proposal. The CEO’s and the Chairman’s words sound like the proverbial siren song to his ears, leading to an uncontrollable desire to say yes, even if the ship is heading for the rocks. Occasionally, he suggests a compliment or a vote of praise. And seldom, he splutters some soundbites to show he is not sleeping. |

Amec and IBGC launch new course on Corporate Governance for Investors |
|
|
|
| |
|
The first edition of the new Corporate Governance for Investors course, initiative conceived and organized through a partnership between Amec – Brazilian Association of Capital Market Investors – and IBGC – Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance – will take place on October 22, 24, 29 and 31, in São Paulo.
Good corporate governance practices are not constrained to a company’s walls. Owners play an essential role in structuring the “checks and balances” that make governance processes much more efficient.
With the growing institutionalization of private savings, investment managers have become increasingly important as part of this process.
The course offers a view on corporate governance practices especially directed at this audience. The topics were selected to fully complement the profiles of today’s investment managers with a view to qualifying them to become efficient agents in the building of governance.
The course, a four-hand work prepared by Amec and IBGC, brings an essential aspect that maximizes its adjustment to the target audience.
Fees
Amec and/or IBGC members - R$ 2,000.00
Others - R$ 3,000.00
Venue
HSBC Auditorium
Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 3064, 1º andar – São Paulo – SP
