The Impacts of the Global Financial Crisis ('GFC') Continue to Present an Interesting Challenge for Company Secretaries to Navigate.

Abstract

The impacts of the Global Financial Crisis (“GFC”) continue to present an interesting challenge for company secretaries to navigate. In the wake of the GFC, an ever-changing and uncertain corporate governance landscape has evolved, resulting in the continuing rise in prominence of the role of a company secretary and an increasing focus by boards on organisational corporate governance practices. This paper will explore how the current climate presents an opportunity for company secretaries to showcase the value that company secretarial teams can bring to organisations through corporate governance thought-leadership and the adoption of innovative approaches to company secretarial practice.
