This course has a crucial role in creating specialised skills of business administration.
In particular, the course intends to accustom the student to a critical review of corporate structures, processes and results. The course also aims at sensitising to:
- the improvement of the quality of board-level decision making, through the preparation of ad hoc information (for instance, risk assessment and risk monitoring services, rating services, and analyses concerning social and environmental responsibility);
- management control, which boosts the implementation of board-level decisions and permits to check the coherence between such decisions and the personnel’s behaviour;
- the check of formal and substantial correctness of procedures, behaviour and information produced by the organisation and transferred to the board;
- the transparency of communication and its consistence with the stakeholders’ information needs.
“Corporate governance and control systems” is a distinctive course of the master degree in “Business Consultancy and Training for Professionals”. In order to meet the educational goals of this master degree, the course:
- improves the student’s ability to deal with administration and control issues, particularly in large and listed companies;
- connects the student’s knowledge on external communication with corporate effectiveness.
The course is voluntary for the students enrolled in other master degrees. In particular, the course:
- permits the students of “Management” to complete their background in business management;
- permits the students of “Money, Finance and Risk Management” to improve their understanding of the relationship between corporate governance and risk management, particularly in listed companies.
