Are you ready to navigate the evolving landscape of narrative disclosure requirements?
Compliance is becoming more stringent, and directors who fail to provide accurate disclosures face increased penalties and sanctions. Year-end disclosures alone are no longer sufficient.
As a company secretary, you play a vital role in addressing this challenge. Bringing together disparate data sets has become increasingly complex, both throughout the year and during the preparation of the annual report.
Our next session in the series will take place on Tuesday, August 15th at the Diligent HQ in London.
What You'll Gain:
• Insights into the forthcoming changes and their implications for your role as a company secretary.
• Network with like-minded individuals who share your challenges and goals, fostering valuable connections that can support you in your role.
• Learn how to create strong connections between the new components to ensure a cohesive and impactful report.
The format of the session will be a 90-minute facilitated workshop led by Carrie Stephenson and Michael Lucas of Brave Within Consultants. They will provide invaluable insights and practical strategies to overcome the hurdles that lie ahead.
Spaces are limited, so register now to secure your place.
