HAWKAMAH TRAINING
The role of the company secretary has evolved in recent years from being a mere support person to becoming one of the key governance professionals within an organisation.
A Company Secretary plays a key role in advancing corporate governance within the Boardroom by ensuring that the board is adhering to corporate governance and that a healthy relationship exists between the board and management.
The CBSW is designed as a continuous learning program. It starts with a 3 days’ workshop on the fundamentals of Board Secretarial skills, followed by a 2 days’ advanced workshop, targeting more experienced company secretaries.
Who should attend?
For Companies Listed on the Dubai Financial Market:

They therefore need to enroll their board secretaries in Hawkamah’s CBSW. The move aims to further professionalise the function and to enhance the performance of listed companies’ boards.
