The Professional Development Project of the Faculty of Law UCT, and Mineral Law in Africa in conjunction with The Mining Solution, are pleased to offer a course in Mineral Regulatory Compliance. On 20 - 24 July 2015.
WHY COMPLIANCE
Compliance as a concept has far more intrinsic value and benefit than mere avoidance of regulatory disciplinary action and penalties. By embracing a holistic compliance culture companies enhance the quality of business operations, thereby not only ensuring organisational success but also cultivating a meaningful relationship with their industry regulators. Compliance should no longer be viewed as a necessary evil, but rather as a very important tool in the pursuit of good governance.
ABOUT THE COURSE
During this course participants will be introduced to the central concepts of South African mineral regulatory compliance. They will be furnished with an in-depth knowledge of relevant legislation, policy and regulations. Participants will also be provided with a comprehensive understanding of the specific compliance obligations intrinsic to these legal documents. The course will culminate in a written assessment on the last day, with the presentation of a certificate of completion to successful candidates.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE?
The course will be beneficial to anyone with an interest in the field, but will be of particular advantage to individuals who are active in the mining industry, and who are responsible for their respective organisations' regulatory compliance.
