Course overview
For company secretaries and directors, understanding shares and how to manage them is crucial for regulatory compliance and effective corporate governance.
Company Secretaries ensure legal requirements are met, manage share-related reporting obligations, and maintain accurate share registers.
Additionally, they oversee share issuance, allotment, and transactions during corporate restructuring. They provide strategic advice on equity management and support strategic decision-making involving shares. By maintaining accurate records and preventing legal and financial risks, company secretaries play a key role in the smooth operation and long-term success of the company.
This course will outline what shares are and why companies issue them, along with how companies and their shareholders interact.
This is an important but complex topic that all Directors, Governance professionals and those involved in share registration should be fully up to date with. It is relevant to all those new to the role and those looking for a refresher.
This is part of our series of Company Secretary training courses covering the essential skills and best practices for all company directors and company secretaries, as well as business leaders and entrepreneurs.
