Aug. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Today’s business environment is influenced by a fluctuating economy, greater scrutiny, and increased regulatory requirements, all of which are creating challenges and increased responsibilities for board members. Two factors have changed the company secretary’s role: corporate governance has become a higher profile issue, and regulatory requirements are more complicated. Companies are emphasizing on an environment that demands transparency and adopting a structural controlled environment to ensure governance. Strong corporate governance in a company is no longer an advantage but an essential part of business development and this critical responsibility lies in the hands of the company secretaries.

Marcus Evans, one of the world’s largest conference organiser has announced that 5th Annual COSEC 2012, a conference that aims at achieving highest corporate governance standards and investor confidence in organisation by enhancing boardroom dynamics, risk management and compliance standards, will be held on 7th-8th November 2012 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A speaker at the 5th Annual COSEC 2012 conference, Tony Sillitonga, Board of Director member of Indonesian Institute of Corporate Directorship (IICD), said that “The role of a corporate secretary is now ranked near the top.  Other than relieving the CEO, Chairman and other directors of a significant burden on their time on many particular tasks, recent corporate secretaries should have multitasking capabilities to represent all members of the Board attending several high level meetings within a multi complex business environment."

Key presenters at the conference also includes Dipak Kaur, Company Secretary of Maxis Communication Berhad Malaysia; Rajesh S. Narang, Vice President Legal & Company Secretary of Mindtree Limited, India; Wafa Tarnowska, Board Member of Women for Sustainable Growth (WSG); Veronica Lai, Head, Legal and Secretariat of Starhub Ltd (Singapore); and Mohammad Affendi Yusoff, Group Company Secretary of K&N Kenanga Holdings Berhad, Malaysia.

The topics that will be discussed at the conference include strengthening Corporate Governance; using the general guideline and rules to formulate unique and flexible whistle blowing strategies; navigating through the complexities of Related Party Transactions (RPT’s) & Recurrent Related Party Transactions (RRPTs); boardroom dynamics; mitigating risks related to setting up of an intermediary company abroad to penetrate the market; company secretaries’ role as the “middle man”; embracing effective compliance & documentation; and evolution of the company secretary.

“We are now at the forefront of the debate about, and practice of, applying and improving corporate governance (CG), have been able to capitalize on our position to demonstrate our skills and knowledge.   I would encourage the Chartered Secretary to take pride in authorship of CG statement and write in a style that reflects a sense of ownership, compliance and engagement in CG, “rules provide the framework, people make the difference.” said Vincent Tan, Group Company Secretary of IOI Corporation Berhad, one of the panelists at the 5th Annual COSEC 2012 conference.

This conference is supported by The Institute of Internal Controls and Asia Risk Management Institute.
