Welcome to ICSA
ICSA (the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators) is the international qualifying and membership body for the Chartered Secretary profession and the world’s leading authority on corporate governance.
Chartered Secretaries
Chartered Secretaries are high-ranking professionals with a broad base of skills unique among the professions. Trained in law, finance, strategy, governance and ethics, they provide a focal point for independent advice and guidance about the conduct of business, governance and compliance.
Leaders in governance
Chartered Secretaries understand that good governance is fundamental to good business decisions. Through our influence with government and regulators, and the work of our Members, ICSA leads in shaping the governance agenda and promoting the best practice essential for organisational performance.
A career as a Chartered Secretary
Qualifying as a Chartered Secretary opens up a wealth of career opportunities – across sectors, internationally and in practice. Highly valued by employers, Chartered Secretaries are key players with the skills, vision and values to take their organisations forward.
Welcome to the ICSA
The ICSA is the world’s leading authority on corporate governance; working alongside governments we represent the interest of organisations where legislation is concerned and promote best practice in business management.
Our International Qualifying Scheme (IQS) offers the broadest study of business disciplines of any profession and an accelerated route to the position of company secretary. Chartered Secretaries work across all industries and operate in public and private sectors, often holding well-remunerated positions at board level, or run their own companies providing company secretarial services. With the opportunity to work overseas, becoming a Chartered Secretary is a passport to arguably the most diverse, challenging and rewarding career among leading business professions.
