Program Overview: What is JSE Listing Requirements and King IV Corporate Governance?
JSE Listing Requirements & King IV Corporate Governance is Edstellar's instructor-led program for company secretaries, finance teams, and boards operating under JSE rules. Participants work through listing eligibility and entry, the 17 King IV principles on an apply-and-explain basis, continuing obligations and SENS announcements, disclosure practice, and audit readiness. The program suits teams that must prove governance to the JSE, investors, and auditors.
Training blends concise briefings with scenario exercises built around real JSE obligations. Participants draft disclosure checklists, map King IV principles to board practices, prepare SENS-style announcements, and test control frameworks in guided workshops. Instructors coach your team through the judgment calls regulators actually test, reviewing each exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone where the team assembles a listing readiness pack for a JSE-listed company.
Listed companies face constant scrutiny: missed disclosures, weak governance narratives, and audit findings that erode investor confidence. This program teaches your teams to run listing obligations as disciplined processes, with registers and evidence that stand up to inspection. The payoff is governance that reads as credible to the market.
The capstone is a listing readiness pack: disclosure registers, King IV apply-and-explain statements, SENS announcement templates, and an audit-readiness checklist tailored to a listed company. Your team returns with documents their board and auditors can work from immediately.
Across 24 hours and 6 modules, your employees move from listing foundations to a capstone readiness pack for a simulated listed company. Instructors tailor examples to your industry and group structure, so every lab output stays relevant after the program ends. Teams leave able to uphold JSE obligations, explain their King IV practices, and face audits with complete evidence.

Connect JSE Obligations and King IV Practice With Disclosure Evidence
Edstellar develops listed-company governance capability through obligation mapping, disclosure drafting, and assurance exercises. Participants connect King IV principles with board practices, prepare SENS-style announcements, and organize control evidence. The final listing-readiness pack makes those relationships visible, with feedback on apply-and-explain quality, reporting responsibilities, and the support behind each governance statement.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore listed-company reporting familiarity, governance responsibilities, and gaps in disclosure checklists, announcement preparation, or assurance records to identify the cohort's JSE and King IV learning needs.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish listing foundations and King IV principles before continuing-obligation scenarios, then connect disclosure registers, apply-and-explain statements, and assurance evidence in the readiness pack.
- Step 03
Align
We align South African listing and governance expertise with secretarial, board, finance, and audit roles, grounding practice in the cohort's reporting context and responsibility boundaries.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample company events, committee practices, and control records to familiar issuer situations, giving participants specific facts for announcement and governance-explanation exercises.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants draft SENS-style announcements, map principles, and assemble disclosure and assurance records, receiving feedback on statement specificity, evidence links, and the clarity of review workflows.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the listing-readiness pack for supported obligation mapping, substantive apply-and-explain statements, coherent announcement preparation, and traceable evidence for board and control practices.
