Description

Director Training Series – A Focus on INEDs (3 Sessions (Flyer) in Hybrid Mode)

Directors of listed companies are increasingly exposed to risks of regulatory sanctions, investor actions, and risks relating to ESG, including climate change. Promoting good governance is at the heart of what The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute does. A series of three director training sessions in HKEX Connect Hall, with limited physical attendance and live streaming for online participation, is organised and designed for directors, especially INEDs, as well as for governance professionals who have the duty to advise the boards on governance matters.

Hearing from HKEX speakers, prominent directors including INEDs, as well as market practitioners, governance professionals and other attendees are able to understand: 

• Director/INED's duties, functions and authority
• How to respond to current governance issues, e.g. risk management, investor communications, conflicts of interest, ESG
• Complex transactions that INEDs need to seek more information from management and/or professional advice
• Enforcement 

In this Session Two - Tackling Current Governance and Regulatory Issues, attendees will learn:

• INED's oversight role in:
  • Internal control system
  • Connected transactions and major transactions
• Conflicts of interest
• When to seek information from management
• When to seek professional advice
