What does governance really mean — and where did it all begin?
In this inaugural episode of the Governance 360 Podcast, hosts Arvind Kumar and Sapna Gupta dive into the origins and evolution of corporate governance, from early merchant charters and fiduciary duties to modern regulations and reforms. They explore global turning points like the Cadbury Report, Dey Report, and the rise of comply or explain in Canada, while reflecting on scandals like Enron, WE Charity, and the governance lessons they brought to the surface.
They also unpack how nonprofit and private sector governance has evolved in Canada — including the impact of CNCA, ONCA, and the rise of voluntary frameworks like Imagine Canada’s Standards. Plus, a candid take on why Robert’s Rules of Order may no longer be enough in today’s strategic boardrooms.
Whether you're a governance professional, director, or curious learner — this episode sets the tone for an insightful, practical, and engaging journey through governance in all its forms.
🎧 Topics include:
- The story behind “corporate governance”
- What the Dey Report changed in Canada
- G20/OECD governance principles and Canada’s global alignment
- Governance shifts in nonprofits and private companies
- Why legislation alone isn’t enough
- A fresh look at Robert’s Rules in modern boardrooms
