Training Outline

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
  • Building disclosure practice that is defensible under audit and regulatory scrutiny
  • 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
  • Practical Exercise: Identify how your organisation's technology and sustainability governance would need to adapt under King V.
Session 6: Close-Out — Structured Gap Analysis and Your King V Implementation Plan
  • Facilitated group workshop: conducting a structured gap analysis between current King IV-era practice and King V requirements
  • Sequencing a realistic King V transition for your organisation
  • Building a formal implementation plan, including roles, responsibilities, and timelines
  • Building assurance processes that support ongoing King V compliance
  • Peer consultation on overcoming resistance and securing organisational buy-in
  • Practical Exercise: Complete a structured gap analysis for your organisation and build a formal King V implementation plan with assigned roles, responsibilities, and timelines.
