What We Do
The ICSA promotes best practice in corporate governance, liaising with governments and regulatory bodies worldwide. We publish guidance notes and best practice guides and through our subsidiaries provide information and training, boardroom performance evaluation and dedicated software. 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.
About ICSA
ICSA Sector Groups
There are various sector-specific groups operating under the ICSA banner which are open to both members and non-members of ICSA. The groups provide an excellent forum for continuing professional development and networking, and offer a variety of professional services and social events.
Members and students who work and/or live in the UK can join or establish a group to share knowledge, provide support or meet up socially with other members locally. For further details of these groups see UK Members Groups.
For those members who are not based in the UK, there is the opportunity to set up a less formal ICSA Network, to meet the same needs as those outlined above. For example, Chartered Secretaries in the USA communicate by email to discuss the particular issues they face. The ICSA Corporate Governance Group is an international network of members with an interest in sharing practical applications to governance problems. For further details see Overseas Members Groups.
To set up a new group, please contact Louise Thomson on policy@icsa.co.uk
