The Corporate Secretaries International Association Limited (CSIA) together with the Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute (HKCGI) in collaboration with EY have embarked on an important research project to explore the role of the governance professional in the fast-evolving governance and risk management landscape within the organisations and business environments that they currently operate in.

It has been a tumultuous year with the pandemic wreaking havoc on global economies and climate change intensifying the focus on global climate governance. Despite the challenges, CSIA focused on the governance issues facing business during this period and held video interviews on ethical leadership during the pandemic, published a report on climate change and hosted webinars on the impact of digitalisation.

As the business environment changes rapidly, corporate governance has become a key driver for organisations sustainability and the role of the Corporate Secretary has evolved to that of the trusted advisor and key governance partner to the Board to facilitate information-sharing, communication and manage relationships

On 15 September 2021, The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute (‘Institute’) and Bain & Company, based on the survey of over 1,400 members of senior management of companies in Hong Kong and Mainland China, jointly published a major thought leadership survey report on ‘The New Board Agenda’ (‘Survey Report’).

The ICSAZ is pleased to announce that that their Institute's name changed as of 1 September 2021 to Chartered Governance and Accountancy Institute in Zimbabwe (CGI Zimbabwe)
