UK: ICSA report - "The company secretary: building trust through governance"

ICSA has published a report titled The Company Secretary - building trust through governance: see here. The report, which draws on research led by Professors Andrew and Nada Kakabadse, notes that many of those interviewed - including chairmen - recognise the important and unique function performed by the company secretary. Many company secretaries, however, said that their role was largely taken for granted and often improperly utilised. The report identifies and explains how high performing company secretaries are able to contribute to good governance through helping to build trust.
