Integrating Growth, Governance and Challenges Beyond

Governance holds the key to growth. Growth is the key to sustenance of posterity. This explains renewed worldwide focus on ˜growth enhancing governance™. The ever evolving dynamics of growth and governance spawns challenging challenges. It is bounden duty of the company secretaries, who are fast emerging as responsible governance professionals, to support and meet such challenges of growth enhancing governance in all three segments – government, corporate and non-governmental organisations. This is bedsides the fact that this is opening up new vistas of practice for governance professionals. The Conference will deliberate the theme in three technical sessions as under:

Session 1:        Emerging Areas of Practice in Governance

Three sets of economic agents, namely, government, corporate and non-governmental organizations have almost the entire resources of the country at their custody. They neither own these resources nor benefit therefrom. They hold and manage such resources as agents for the benefit of 1.2 billion Indians.  The governance of these three sets of agencies must avoid conflict of interest of various stakeholders and pursue their interests harmoniously. The deliberations of the session would enable the participants appreciate as to where we are, where we want to go and how do we get there as governance professionals.

Session 2:        Enhancing Quality of Service of a Practising Company Secretary

A professional is expected to compete with himself, his fellow professionals and professionals from other disciplines. He, however, survives and excels only if he goes beyond the expected. A quality conscious approach supplemented by continuing professional education and peer review holds him in good stead. He, however, needs break down his activities into different categories, each with specific performance metrics, best practice guidelines and measurable results. The session would help him develop these capabilities and may persuade the Institute to come up with service standards.

Session 3:        Responsibility and Accountability of a Practising Company Secretary

A practicing company secretary is an extended arm of State and pursues public goods in public interest. He is fiercely independent commensurate with his responsibility. Such independence calls for commensurate accountability. The accountability is fastened to not only what he does, but also what he does not. It is doing the right thing, in the right manner, for the right reasons, and with the right attitude. This session would dwell on perimeters of responsibility and accountability of a practising company secretary. It would also dwell on the extent of self-discipline and external discipline.
