Programme

The roles and duties of the Corporate Secretary have

evolved considerably beyond board meeting responsibili-

ties, fiduciary duties to shareholders, regulatory and

statutory compliance, to focus more on good

governance. As the legislative and regulatory environ-

ment changes and with advances in technology, the

demands on corporate secretaries and legal counsels

have increased significantly. Key among these changes is

the impact of amendments in data capture protection

and transmittal seen in the new General Data Protection

Regulation (GDPR), which has presented both

opportunities and challenges for maintaining good

governance, which this workshop aims to address.

The intent of the agenda is therefore to present an

in depth understanding and recognition of the dynamic

factors driving the roles of governance professionals and

bring focus to the specialized knowledge and skills to be

mastered for undaunted effectiveness in your role as the

leading resource to Boards and senior management.

The course probes into new and heightened standards

and professional requirements and aims to close gaps in

knowledge and functional skills. The knowledge and

working skills imparted will be presented to have

immediate applicability, whether you work in a private

or public sector organization.

The JSE has teamed up with industry experts from ICSA

Governance Institute in the United Kingdom, their

Jamaican Chapter and leading specialists locally, to

provide the different sectors and businesses with interna-

tional standards and real-world experiential knowledge

as we work together to promote good governance and

the best corporate practices within all sectors.
