CSC will also report on the relationship between good governance and share prices and profitability. This Symposium will be of particular interest to corporate secretaries, governance and compliance officers, general counsel and lawyers and accountants whose practice includes regulatory compliance and governance. This Symposium can count towards credit for continuing professional development requirements in governance matters. Executive Director David Petrie identified good governance as a way for businesses to protect themselves. "I mean governance in its truest sense - being proactive about the way your company governs itself and responds to social concerns," he said.
