Corporate governance, compliance, and assurance concepts are making headlines with increasing frequency. The legislative and regulatory landscape is constantly changing, resulting in greater emphasis and focus on the accountability and responsibility of management. This King V Governance, Compliance, and Assurance Workshop provides an overview and practical analysis of the King V Code on Corporate Governance for South Africa — the code that officially supersedes King IV in its entirety for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
This King V Governance, Compliance, and Assurance Workshop covers what has genuinely changed: King V’s deconstructed four-document format, the consolidation of 17 principles into 13, the new mandatory Disclosure Framework, the shift to outcomes-based governance evaluation, new committee independence requirements, and entirely new territory King IV never addressed — AI and automated decision-making governance, systems-value sustainability thinking, and remuneration malus and clawback standards. You’ll leave with a practical transition and assurance plan for moving your organisation’s governance practice from King IV to King V.
This King V Governance, Compliance, and Assurance Workshop equips you to understand, apply, and lead your organisation’s transition to King V governance, compliance, and assurance practice.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:
Understand the structural, principle-level, and philosophical changes between King IV and King V
Apply the King V Code’s 13 consolidated principles to organisational governance practice
Apply the new, mandatory King V Disclosure Framework to organisational reporting
Evaluate governance performance using King V’s four core outcomes, not just adopted practices
Structure Risk and Social & Ethics Committees to meet King V’s new independence requirements
Apply King V’s governance expectations for AI and automated decision-making
Apply King V’s sustainability and systems-value concepts to organisational strategy
Build a practical King V transition and assurance plan for their own organisation
Current to King V, Not King IV: Learn the code that’s actually in effect for financial years from 1 January 2026 onward, not the standard it replaced.
A Practical Transition Plan, Not Just Theory: Understand exactly what your organisation needs to change moving from King IV to King V practice.
Ahead of the Compliance Curve: Understand the new mandatory Disclosure Framework and committee independence requirements before they catch your organisation off guard.
Covers What’s Genuinely New: AI governance, systems-value sustainability, and remuneration malus and clawback — areas King IV never addressed.
Assurance-Ready: Build the practical assurance and compliance skills to support your organisation’s King V reporting with confidence.

DAY 1 — Foundations of King V Governance
Session 1: From King IV to King V — What’s Changed and Why It Matters
King V’s deconstructed format: Foundational Concepts, the Code, the Glossary, and the Disclosure Framework, as distinct standalone documents
Consolidation of 17 King IV principles into 13 King V principles, and what was merged or removed
The removal of King IV’s institutional-investor-specific Principle 17, and the shift to applying King V alongside CRISA
Why King V refines rather than overhauls King IV, and what that means for organisations already applying King IV
Practical Exercise: Map your organisation’s current King IV practices against the new King V principle structure.
Session 2: King V Principles and the Four Governance Outcomes
The 13 consolidated King V principles and how recommended practices are now organised around governance function
King V’s shift to an outcomes-based model: ethical leadership, sustained performance and value creation, effective compliance and sound internal control, and organisational legitimacy
Why boards must now evidence impact, not merely intent
Applying the four governance functions: steering and setting direction, policy and planning, oversight and monitoring, and accountability
Practical Exercise: Assess a sample governance practice against King V’s four core outcomes.
DAY 2 — Applying King V in Practice
Session 3: The Mandatory King V Disclosure Framework
How King V’s disclosure regime departs from King IV’s more flexible “apply and explain” approach
Applying the standardised King V Disclosure Framework to organisational reporting
Common disclosure gaps that arise when transitioning from King IV to King V

Practical Exercise: Draft a King V-aligned disclosure statement for a sample governance practice.
Session 4: Risk, Compliance, and Committee Governance Under King V
Applying risk oversight and compliance principles within the King V framework
King V’s new committee composition requirement: Risk and Social & Ethics Committees must have a majority of nonexecutive members, including at least one independent member
Structuring committee composition and terms of reference to meet this requirement
Assurance considerations for internal audit under King V
Practical Exercise: Review a sample committee composition against King V’s new independence requirement and recommend changes.
DAY 3 — Emerging Governance Frontiers and Your Transition Plan
Session 5: Technology, AI Governance, and Sustainability Under King V
King V’s governance expectations for AI and automated decision-making, including accountability and human oversight
The concept of “systems value” in sustainability: recognising organisational interests as integral to, not merely overlapping with, broader socio-ecological systems
Remuneration malus and clawback fairness standards under King V
Governance considerations for mergers, acquisitions, and group structures under King V

Sequencing a realistic King V transition for your organisation
Building a formal implementation plan, including roles, responsibilities, and timelines

The Fraud Risk Management training was clear, practical, and very relevant to day-to-day work. Content was well structured and the real world case studies made concepts easy to apply. Presenter knowledge and engagement kept the session interactive. Overall a valuable program that strengthened my understanding of fraud detection, prevention, and regulatory requirements.
The facilitator was exceptionally good, approachable eloquent and was able to structure the course content to relate to our specific work designations, it was just perfect service delivery
Keep up the good work which I experienced during my training being training materials offered and great hospitality we received from all the staff members
