Mrs. Jana Zacheva from Governance&Legal, a lawyer with years of experience in Corporate governance shared her more than 10-years experience in it in Great Britain. Mrs. Zacheva presented different theories about good governance and brought interesting examples to the attention of the audience of UK companies where non-compliance with business integrity policies or their absence had resulted into negative consequences, both legal and financial. A one-year company corporate governance plan was also shared which could be easily adapted for a Bulgarian company.
Адв. Георги Тошев, председател на “Институт за развитие и управление на ресурсите” (ИРУР), който обединява асоцииран интерес на организации, които работят в сферата на енергетиката, екологията и управлението на човешките ресурси, разказа подробно за европейския регламент за разпределяне на свръхпечалбите на енергийните предприятия и липсата на активност на държавно нива за неговото приложение у нас. Даде пример за негативен лобизъм, които възпрепятства прилагането на регламента, който предвижда изземването на свръх приходите от енергийния сектор и разпределението им сред домаконсвата. Разказа как регламентът се прилага в други държави, където малкия и средния бизнес, както и гражданите са получили вече съответната финансова подкрепа.
Except for the club members, the meeting brought together representatives of companies, financial institutions, public administration and consultants, who had the opportunities to jointly discuss the presented topics.
