About the webinar

The new Law on Legal Entities Owned by the Republic of Croatia, which entered into force on October 1, 2025, brings numerous innovations in terms of corporate governance, compliance, risk management and internal controls. Of particular importance is compliance with the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance in Majority State-Owned Enterprises, which brings the Croatian framework closer to best international practices.

In this webinar we will analyze:

As OECD principles are translated into legal provisions,

What are the new obligations and expectations for legal entities in state and local ownership

How are compliance, risk management and internal control functions established?

And how does all of this fit into an integrated corporate governance system.
