| Council's Agenda
WCFCG,
in essence, is an international network aimed to galvanise good
governance practices. It is in the process of developing an extensive
work programme to disseminate information on corporate governance
worldwide. WCFCG recognises there has recently been a multitude
of initiatives worldwide on corporate governance and they all
are doing excellent work. But little of it is being properly disseminated.
WCFCG aims to provide a permanent forum for exchange of information
on developments on corporate governance. Its agenda includes:
(i)
Setting up a comprehensive database to record information
about the activities of each organisation involved in corporate
governance;
(ii)
Exchange information on development of corporate governance
practices worldwide;
(iii)
To assist member and partner organisations to create institutional
capacity for good corporate governance by setting up centres of
corporate governance;
(iv)
To assist national economies particularly the developing
and transition economies to use corporate governance as a vehicle
for national resurgence and creation of wealth;
(v)
To develop and implement standards of good corporate governance
that can be universally applied and used as quality benchmarks
for governance practices;
(vi)
To act as a benchmarking centre for good governance practices.
(vii)
To establish global, national and regional fora for good
corporate governance
(viii)
To undertake research to extend the frontiers of knowledge
on corporate governance;
(ix)
To develop and standardise various types of syllabi and
courses on corporate governance and conduct them through accredited
organisations;
(x)
Exchange dialogue between all stakeholders by organising
conferences, seminars, workshops and round tables at international,
national and regional levels;
(xi)
To provide hands-on technical support to developing and
transition economies to bridge the gap with developed nations
in legal and regulatory requirements.
