The release of King III report on 1 September 2009 represents a significant milestone in the evolution of corporate governance in South Africa and brings with it significant opportunities for organisations that embrace its principles. At PwC, we believe that free enterprise prospers in an environment of good and balanced corporate governance. While we understand that achieving good governance is a complex task, we believe that sound governance practices offer numerous practical benefits and that organisations should integrate such practices into their operational processes.
Our involvement in the King Committee
Some of our leaders served as members of the King Committee and also chaired the Accounting and Auditing and Internal Audit subcommittees respectively. As a result of our involvement, PricewaterhouseCoopers has deep insight into the recommendations of the King Committee and is well placed to offer practical guidance and encourage debate around implementation to enable the real benefits of good governance to be realised.
Our Steering Point publication series examines evolving corporate governance and business legislation issues in South Africa.
