The ICSA has 36,000 members worldwide and is represented in over 70 countries.
Why choose us
Chartered Secretaries are highly valued by employers and benefit from a career that is well remunerated and flexible. Once qualified, Chartered Secretaries can choose to work in the public, private or not-for-profit or set up their own business. Welcome to the profession with a world of possibilities.
Who we support
The ICSA supports its members and students and those seeking advice and guidance on corporate governance and regulatory issues.
Our mission: Growing the Chartered Secretary profession through standards, training, revenues and reputation.
Why ICSA is Different
The ICSA's International Qualifying Scheme is unique. No other professional body provides a post graduate qualification that is as broad based as the ICSA's. Chartered Secretaries are trained in business, company law, corporate governance, management, finance, administration and company secretaryship.
Press Centre
Welcome to the ICSA’s Press Centre. As the leading authority on corporate governance we regularly provide journalists with expert analysis on a wide range of legal and regulatory issues in the corporate and not-for-profit sectors.
One of the most important aspects of a Chartered Secretary's role is compliance. So if you're writing a feature on a complex piece of legislation, we can quickly put you in touch with an expert to define its key points and provide authoritative commentary to help you meet your deadline. We can advise on a broad range of business issues from the composition of company boards, to shareholder legislation, company law and corporate governance. A full list of subjects we comment on is provided in the topics for discussion area in this section alongside some facts, figures and statistics about the Institute. Our CEO is also available for interview.
An additional resource that journalists may find useful, particularly those specialising in legal and corporate governance matters, is our suite of guidance notes. These notes can be found in our Knowledge Bank. Please feel free to contact Rosie Hamilton on 020 7612 7062 if you have any questions or email pressoffice@icsa.co.uk
