Director’s Training
The Board recognised the importance of ensuring that Directors are continuously being developed to acquire or enhance the requisite knowledge and skills to discharge their duties effectively.
All new Directors appointed to the Board would attend a formal induction programme to familiarise themselves with the Company’s strategy and aspiration, understanding of the line of businesses and corporate functions, key financial highlights, people initiatives, requirements of audit, compliance and risk management conducted by the Chief Executive Officer / Heads of the business units as well as Senior Management, and organised by the Group Learning and Development unit. The Company Secretary would also provide the new Directors with an information kit regarding disclosure obligations of a director, Board Charter, Code of Ethics, Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, Board Committees’ Terms of Reference, amongst others.
Apart from the Financial Institutions Directors’ Education (FIDE) Programme accredited by The Iclif Leadership and Governance Centre (ICLIF), all Directors appointed to the Board, have also attended other relevant training programmes and seminars organised by the regulatory authorities and professional bodies to further enhance their business acumen and professionalism in discharging their duties to the Bank. The Directors also attend offsite Strategy Meeting to have an in-depth understanding and continuous engagement with Management pertaining to the Company’s strategic direction. In addition, the Directors are constantly updated on information relating to the Company’s development and industry development through discussion at Board meetings with the Senior Management team.
