FAQ
King I. In 1994, the first King report on corporate governance (King 1) was published, the first corporate governance code for South Africa. It established recommended standards of conduct for boards and directors of listed companies, banks, and certain state-owned enterprises.
(i) The board of directors of the company shall have an optimum combination of executive and non-executive directors with not less than fifty percent of the board of directors comprising of non-executive directors. The number of independent directors would depend on whether the Chairman is executive or non-executive.
Corporate governance is the system of internal controls and procedures by which individual companies are managed. It provides a framework that defines the rights, roles, and responsibilities of various groups—management, board, controlling shareowners, and minority or noncontrolling shareowners—within an organization.
Corporate governance refers to the framework of policies and guidelines that inform a company's conduct, decision-making and practice. This infrastructure is built upon four key principles: accountability, transparency, fairness and responsibility.
King III requires boards to be comprised of a majority of non-executive directors, of whom the majority should be independent. Every year the directors who are classified as independent should have their independence assessed by the board, particularly those that have been on the board for longer than nine years.
Principle 15: The governing body should ensure that assurance services and functions enable an effective control environment, and that these support the integrity of information for internal decision-making and of the organisation's external reports.
The King Code also understands that corporate governance is a leadership issue. Ethical leadership is exemplified by integrity, competence, responsibility, accountability, fairness, and transparency. The King Code defines corporate governance as “the exercise of ethical and effective leadership by the governing body”.
Corporate governance is a complex beast. Even those of us who have built their careers in fields where governance is a necessity might not fully understand everything it encompasses. That's why many governance experts break it down into four simple words: People, Purpose, Process,and Performance.
Every company has its principles, but the most common pillars in corporate governance are accountability, transparency, fairness and responsibility.
