Description
The Securities Commission Malaysia released the latest version of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“MCCG”) in April 2017.
Recognising the need for continuous improvement of corporate governance practices, the MCCG now adopts a different approach from previous versions. The new approach aims to encourage progression and provide greater utility for companies and their stakeholders.
In collaboration with the Bar Council, the Securities Commission Malaysia will conduct a workshop designed to familiarise the legal community with the enhancements to the MCCG and its recommended practices espoused. Participants will benefit from the delivery of information and insights on the new MCCG, with emphasis on the issues and expectations in relation to applications and disclosure.
