Why the accounting profession should be critical of the King Code of Corporate Governance

Join CPD Campus for this thought-provoking live CPD event in which Dr Pieter Conradie CA(SA) provides session attendees with the less popular narrative about the battle between the business case for sustainability and what society and the natural environment really needs. The focus of the event is to problematise the accounting professional’s role in this dilemma. As professionals in this sphere, we are required to serve public interest above all else, but do we not perhaps perceive the public interest and the interest of the investor as one and the same thing in this regard? In the session, the possible causes for this are investigated, as well as how these causes could be addressed. Not a session to be missed!
