ADSO is hosting the interactive, virtual course ‘Introduction to Company Secretarial Practice’ in November 2023. Introduction to Company Secretarial Practice will be delivered as two, three hour workshops held virtually. Delegates will be required to attend both of the virtual workshops.
Audience
This course is aimed at Democratic Services Officers, or those who work in corporate roles in other sectors, who wish to develop their understanding of the role of the company secretary, the work it does and the other roles with which it interacts.
The target audience is experienced democratic and corporate services professionals who are either involved in local authority companies or other corporations, or who are interested in being so in the future.
How the course will be delivered
The course will be delivered virtually. To maximise the delegates learning experience the course has been broken into two virtual workshops on the following dates:
Workshop 1: Wednesday 1 November 2023, 09:30 – 12:30
Workshop 2: Wednesday 8 November 2023, 09:30 – 12:30
The workshops will explore:
- What is a company and why one would be set up
- The different roles on a company’s board
- The governance frameworks associated with companies and why some companies have failed in the past
- The elements of effective company boards
- The role of the company secretary
The workshops will include plenary presentations, case studies and smaller group working, enabling delegates to learn with other people from across the country.
Delegates are required to attend both workshops.
