Background:
The Company Secretaries and the Secretaries to the Boards of Banks, NBFCs & Financial Institutions play a significant and important role in ensuring the compliance of the Company and the Board of Directors with the relevant laws, rules & regulations, resolutions of both the Board and AGM's meetings including corporate governance practices. A company secretary fosters communication between the board and stakeholders, and plays a key role in helping the board make efficient decisions, safeguarding the interests of shareholders, and making sure the company operates transparently and with integrity. The Company Secretaries and the officials working in the Board secretariat should have a good understanding of the framework for governance prescribed by the various regulators.
