This programme is mainly designed for those in company administration and management who are interested in learning more about the company secretary's role and function. The programme aims to equip students with contemporary theory and standards in corporate governance, business law, risk management and compliance regulations.
Course Description
The function of Company Secretary is deemed to be vital to the direction, governance, administration and management of a company. Given the increasing complexity of the regulatory framework within which companies must operate, and the increasing awareness of the need for good corporate governance, the role of the Company Secretary is becoming more and more important.
Being a professionally qualified company secretary, one should have the ability to ensure the company complies with regulation on good corporate compliance. The demand for personnel with practical experience in the field of company secretaries and practical knowledge in corporate governance in Hong Kong has soared, mainly due to more aggressive regulatory supervision and enforcement pushing companies to bolster compliance.
A professional company governance and company secretary qualification is definitely one of the most sought-after qualifications in Hong Kong today.
