Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to determine the participation among directors of non listed companies in Kedah in CDTP. The study also highlights the reasons for directors of not participating. The study found that the participation of directors in CDTP is quite low. The study reveals that ‘not interested’, ‘did not know’ and ‘not related to work’ are among the main reasons for the directors not participating in training. The study hope to shed some light for authority such as Companies Commission of Malaysia to take further action in encouraging directors to attend the training. The participation of directors in CDTP is important in order to enhance awareness and understanding of corporate governance and more importantly to enhance awareness of corrupt practices as has happened in many giant organizations in recent years.
