Fulfilling the obligation of a HK listed company's directors

With the increasing number of corporate governance requirement for listed companies by regulators and investors, HKEx has added a code provision on the training of directors in the Corporate Governance Code and the Corporate Governance Report (Appendix XIV of the Listing Rules).

It is stated that “all directors should participate in continuous professional development and update their knowledge and skills to ensure that they continue to contribute to the Board with comprehensive information and appropriate needs.”

The issuer must disclose in the Corporate Governance Report of the annual report how the directors comply with the code provisions on training.

In view of the aforesaid mandatory requirement imposed on the directors of HK listed companies, hkICED has tailor-made a series of professional training courses for them.
