Conferences
Governance Beyond Boards® (13 – 14 June ’12)
CBM Training and CGF Research Institute invites you to an intensive, thought-provoking 2 day event, highlighting the benefits, rewards and challenges linked to Corporate Governance, Risk and Compliance in South Africa today. GRC (corporate governance, risk mitigation & compliance) has emerged internationally as a discipline essential to the stability, sustainability and profitability of organisations. Riding on the back of massive corporate mismanagement and fraud, transparency has become more and more important to investors and stakeholders.
Organisations of all sizes in South Africa need to develop and apply strict GRC principles and institute high ethical values for the benefit of investors, their stakeholders and the communities within which they operate. Failure to do so could have devastating consequences for the organisation, its staff, suppliers, customers and investors.
Date: 13 – 14 June 2012
Venue: Corporate Conference Centre, Johannesburg

MDGs Summit 2012 - Cape Town (03 & 04 May ’12)
South Africa’s vibrant city of Cape Town will be the host of the global Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Summit 2012, and will be held at Cape Town’s International Convention Centre on 03 & 04 May 2012. The MDGs were established as a way of implementing the promises of the Millennium Declaration. The MDGs built on various UN conferences’ proposals over several years, having first been adopted as concrete targets by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) in 1996. Drawing on the Declaration - and the work of governments, the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and other experts - the goals were refined and published in 2001.
Through your association with CGF, we have negotiated a 20% discount on your fees should you wish to attend this important event.

Basel III (10 May '12)
Under the new Basel III banking regulations, banks are required to increase both their capital ratio and their liquidity buffer. While these latest requirements have been designed to make banks more stable by
discouraging their reliance on short-term funding, they will prove challenging for South African banks to comply with and may have serious implications for their balance sheet.
IIR’s one-day conference on Basel III, which will be held at The Hyatt, Rosebank, Johannesburg, will provide you with all the information you need to fully understand the impact of the new regulations, the timetable for implementation and how they will be applied locally given the structure of the market and the country’s status as a developing economy.
Hear experts from leading banks and industry analysts including FirstRand Bank, African Bank, Ubank, Deloitte and Accenture, who will offer practical, jargon-free advice and guidance on how to effectively prepare for the new regulations. Get up to speed on all you need to know about Basel III in just one day!
CGF has negotiated a 20% discount for all its constituents attending the event. (If you are not a client of CGF, simply register your details with CGF to receive these discounts.)
