The Effective Board Secretary (Karachi)

A course on the Company Secretary’s role and practice in the light of company law, PSX regulations and code of corporate governance regulations for corporates and Public Sector Companies.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

From being the Chairman’s bag carrier and the CFO’s filer of returns, the Company Secretary’s role has evolved to become the primary corporate governance professional for the Company. With a growing focus on compliance and corporate governance and more detailed regulatory oversight following global disasters like Enron and Parmalat, the Company Secretary is now a front and center player in the Company’s efforts to meet stakeholder and regulator expectations.

Many Company Secretaries have not trained for their position but have had the position thrust upon them. How do they prepare themselves to play the role fully and what should their supervisor’s expectations of their performance be?
