The Growing Enterprise Management (GEM) Programme is the first of its kind that focuses on managing growth effective governance for listed companies. The Programme is designed to provide a practical framework and principles based guidance on evaluating and improving governance. Completion of the modules within the GEM Programme will provide board directors (including executive, non executive and independent directors) and senior management team of listed companies with the tools to evaluate the current governance process; to provide strategic direction and guidance to management; to ascertain that enterprise risks are managed appropriately, and to verify that resources are used responsibly.
