When we talk about best practices of Corporate Governance, the first thought that
immediately comes to one's mind is the Board of Directors, since they perform a pivotal role
in fulfilling the three aspects of Corporate Governance which include accountability,
transparency and equality of treatment for all stakeholders. The board of directors is the
apex body entrusted with the task of strategic planning, policy formulation and
implementation of the same through the professionally managed team and it is composed of
executive and independent directors.

The Role of Board has been enhanced as per the new Companies Act, 2013 and at this
backdrop, the Corporate Laws & Corporate Governance Committee of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India has planned to organise a Two Days Certification
programme for Directors on 27th and 28th March, 2015 at Taj Vivanta, M. G. Road, Bangalore






Objective of the programme
 To enhance the skills and knowledge of the directors so that they discharge their
   responsibilities effectively and contribute to the Board.
 To help directors derive a complete idea about the roles which they are expected to
   play.
 To help participants understand clearly the board room process so that they play an
   important role in the Board meetings.
 The Certification programme is designed for the benefit of the persons who wishes to
   become a director or who is already a director on the board of a company
