Peter Kyambadde, the partner of KPMG has advised organisations and companies, to embrace the corporate governance principles if they are to see their tremendous growth.
Kyambadde believes that companies worldwide that embrace the corporate governance principles are the one that have taken the lead and have not yet seen their downfall compared to others.
“Poor corporate governance principles affects the organisation’s functioning starting with its workforce, because organisations that put their staff to the core of business will always have unstoppable growth,” he said.
By this, he for example says companies that take the issue of corporate governance seriously have prioritised their staff through giving them good salaries, benefits among others.
“Resilient organizations are those that bounce back after business disruptions because they are resistant to the impact of the disruptions,” he added.
He made these remarks while addressing reporters, a head of the 12th annual Directors and Secretaries conference which will take place on March 9, Thursday next week in Kampala.
