Khaberni - The chairman of the board of directors of the Jordanian European Institute for Business Development "Ijaby" / Vice President of Amman Chamber of Industry, Tamim al-Qasrawi, stated during the opening of a workshop on "governance and family governance" in the chamber building, attended by representatives of a large number of industrial companies, that in an age of rapid changes and increasing economic and social challenges, the importance of governance emerges as one of the tools that help institutions effectively face these challenges.
Al-Qasrawi added that governance is a fundamental pillar in building modern institutions, whether in the private or public sector, as it contributes to enhancing performance efficiency, ensuring compliance with laws and adopted standards, and improving institutional performance: through setting clear goals and effective strategies to achieve them.
Ghassan Naqil spoke at the workshop about institutionalizing the Naqil Group in the governance of family companies, from the early stages of awareness of the need for governance, through the phase of developing clear policies that separate ownership and management, and setting internal systems for auditing and control, to the implementation of global practices in the field of governance which has enhanced their ability to continue and expand.
Dr. Tarek al-Hammouri discussed governance methods and mechanisms and the legal framework, where al-Hammouri outlined the concept of governance as a sustainable work system, and how laws and policies form an integrated framework that guides the operations of companies and transforms legal compliance into responsible daily practices, and the legal mechanisms in practical reality, from councils and specialized committees to disclosure and internal policies and how legal rules are translated into daily executable practices, and modern legislation and its role in developing governance.
Al-Hammouri also touched on the most significant amendments to the Companies Law and the Securities Law and how they enhance sound management, transparency, and the protection of shareholders’ and creditors' rights.
At the end of the workshop, a discussion took place among the attendees and speakers, regarding several issues related to governance and the challenges facing its implementation in various institutions.
