Advanced Corporate Secretaries Training program

Corporate secretaries have an important role to play as governance professionals in all types of companies. Governance is more than just complying with laws, regulations and codes; it is also about creating cultures of good practice. This means that corporate secretaries need more than the usual technical skills and experience. They also need the emotional intelligence, advanced skills and experience to ensure that they know how the practices typically would be implemented to work effectively. The modern corporate secretary is no longer just a normal secretary who prepare meetings, take minutes and collects votes as often implied in earlier job descriptions, but is now expected to provide professional guidance to shareholders, boards, individual directors, management, and other stakeholders on the governance aspects of strategic decisions. The corporate secretary typically would act as a bridge for information, communication and advice. To fulfill this role, the corporate secretary needs to be fully aware of the powers, rights, duties, and obligations of all of these groups. In addition to providing advice and communication, the corporate secretary often called on to create and manage relationships between these different players in the corporate governance system.
