Chartered Secretaries are high-ranking professionals with a broad base of skills. Trained in corporate law, finance, accounting, strategy, governance, and company secretary-ship, they are professionally qualified individuals to whom the Board Directors turn for advice on a range of business issues.
The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) is the international qualifying and Membership body for the Chartered Secretary profession and a leading authority on governance and compliance. ICSA qualifications have the additional benefit of being globally recognised, giving ICSA members the opportunity to travel and work overseas, and so providing a passport to a superb career.
The profession of Chartered Secretary attracts a wide variety of people. Many of the local members work in the finance industry, others work for local companies listed on the CISX and some have served in the police force. Many people join ICSA as new graduates looking for a diverse and rewarding career; often they may be working in entry-level roles in corporate governance and want to take their career to the next step; most want to fast-track their route to the boardroom.
