Corporate housekeeping seminar set

MANILA, Philippines - The Center for Global Best Practices is holding an MCLE-accredited seminar entitled, “Best Practices In Corporate Housekeeping: The Experts’ Guide On How to Be An Effective Corporate Secretary” on April 26 & 27 at The Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City.

This special pioneering program teaches board directors, lawyers, and CPAs the knowledge and professional skills on how to be an effective corporate secretary and how to perform the functions of corporate housekeeping. The term “corporate housekeeping” refers to the multitude of services that a corporate secretary (who could be a lawyer or a non-lawyer) need to perform for a corporate entity. It is what every corporation needs to do and to know to function well.

Whether you are a lawyer servicing a corporate client, a professional or a family member assigned to the board as a corporate secretary, or the board director and owner of a corporation, you must know how corporate housekeeping should be executed properly. This once-a-year program is the 4th public seminar on the topic that is exclusively for those who want to professionalize their role as a board director, corporate secretary, and a law or accounting firm servicing a corporation.

This one-and-a-half day seminar would be of special benefit to, among others, corporations, business owners, directors, and managers who may want to know how best to use the services of the corporate secretary; new lawyers who may wish to learn the best practices in corporate housekeeping; older lawyers who may want to shift to corporate practice or to broaden their knowledge of such practice; law firms and corporate law departments who may wish to provide additional training to their lawyers and paralegals; compliance officers of public corporations; and accountants, auditors, and accounting firms who may wish to expand their services so as to include the provision of corporate housekeeping services to their clients. Sample forms, resolutions, documents, contracts, and other useful reference materials will be provided. This kind of specialized training is not available and taught in any school in the country.
