Description
The recent changes in the Listing Rules have caused significant implications on the responsibilities of directors and the roles of company secretaries.

The following areas will be covered:
- The Exchange’s increased disciplinary powers against directors and company secretaries under the July 2021 Listing Rule changes; and
- The broadened scope of directors’ responsibilities and company secretaries’ roles, including:
- Risk management and internal control systems under the Corporate Governance Code with a discussion of commonly held misconceptions
- Company culture, diversity and whistleblowing and shareholder communications
