Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute
It was a pleasure to meet with Ernest Lee, President, and Ellie Pang FCG HKFCG, Chief Executive, from The Hong Kong Chartered Governance Institute (HKCGI), formerly known as The Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS). They explained that the HKCGI decided to rename and rebrand to highlight the key role that Chartered Secretaries play in governance. Its members have a dual designation: Chartered Secretary and Chartered Governance Professional. Although over 40% of HKCGI’s members work for listed companies, some work for SMEs.
Chamber CEO George Leung, and PR & Programs Director Malcolm Ainsworth shared ideas about how the two organizations could cooperate. Given the increasing complexity of the regulatory framework within which companies must operate, the role of the Company Secretary and governance professionals will become increasingly more important. HKCGI provides training course and updates to help professionals in Hong Kong stay on top of regulatory developments, and we look forward to working with HKCGI to help expand the knowledge and capacity of governance professionals.
