No short cuts to corporate governance (2013-11-04)

Advertorial by CGF Research

As for most matters in business -- and in life -- there are few ‘short cuts’ that are guaranteed for any forms of lasting success. And although many an executive (or manager) may try beating the odds because of mounting pressures placed on their bottom lines and time-pressurized diaries; short cuts invariably end up costing a business more in the long run.
Having learnt the lessons of following protocol and procedures within the financial services industry, at an early stage of his career, Terrance Booysen who is the primary founder of CGF Research Institute (Pty) Ltd, had no hesitation in building his company based upon a solid foundation.  The values which form the bastille of CGF are firmly rooted in honesty, trust, respect, integrity and sound risk management principles which generate profit.  Expectedly, these values underpin the manner in which CGF directs and controls its business and strategy, including its dealing with all its stakeholders.

As a business which specializes in corporate governance services, CGF has -- since its inception in 2004 -- steadily grown not only its market share, but indeed also its brand and breadth of corporate governance related services.  Whilst CGF Research Institute was, at its inception, acutely aware that ‘corporate governance’ would become a matter for boards of directors to place significantly more emphasis upon, the shareholders of CGF aptly abbreviated and registered the words Corporate Governance Framework® and which then formed the basis of its ‘governance journey’ and service delivery capabilities.

In the earlier part of CGF’s beginnings, the company and its dedicated team focused solely upon providing its client base monthly governance reports, which today still forms a critical pillar of CGF’s business model and value-added services.  CGF’s reports, which are found within the acclaimed Corporate Governance Body of Knowledge®, are used by many organisations across most of the vertical sectors and caters for government and state owned organisations, blue chip companies as well as all sizes of private companies.  Whilst the client list is significant, what matters more is the fact that through CGF’s Corporate Governance Body of Knowledge®, the subscribing clients are provided access to its vast array of information which covers:
  • monthly newsletters and topical GRC (governance, risk and compliance) articles;
  • monthly GRC reports and executive summaries;
  • monthly regulatory updates;
  • induction programme for directors, managers and prescribed officers;
  • policy templates, recommended reading, electronic library and GRC acronyms; and
  • a growing collection of GRC white papers.
