The document summarizes an ICSA Ireland conference that took place on May 24, 2016. It discusses ICSA celebrating its 125th anniversary in October and its goal of being the leading provider of governance products and services. It also promotes increasing ICSA's public profile and positioning itself for the future. Several speakers are listed including Conor Ryan, Chair of ICSA Ireland Branch, and presentations on cyber security and managing risk and reputation.
The Company Secretary: Building trust through governance, was undertaken in collaboration with ICSA to examine the unique role of the company secretary, exploring what it takes to perform the role effectively and how a company secretary can become a highly valued contributing member of the board.
Over 200 people, including company secretaries, chairmen, NEDs and CEOs shared their thoughts and experience in the course of the project, and represented a range of board-level views from FTSE, SME and private, not-for-profit and public sector organisations.
The majority of respondents surveyed agree that the role of the company secretary is an important and unique function. However, many company secretaries suggest their role is largely taken for granted and often improperly utilised.
The key findings of this study illustrate how high-performing company secretaries ultimately help build trust, which results in good governance. Many company secretaries acknowledge that their individual discretion, freedom of choice, personal morals and ethics are important in positively impacting corporate judgement. Other respondents note how effectiveness is achieved through more than fixed administrative capabilities or technical knowledge. Respondents to the study highlight the role’s need for continuous engagement, using interpersonal skills to craft effective relationships. These capabilities evolve in a manner that constantly tests a company secretary’s understanding and often results in the critical appraisal of other board members’ roles.
Industries, businesses and business models are being radically changed as a consequence of all the technological developments sweeping the world. I am writing a series of papers that cover the implications of all of this for how boards go about doing their work. The first paper is a general overview of these developments.
The governance professional of the future
will have to deal with a different regulatory
framework, greater complexity and technology
shifts, each occurring at an increasingly
rapid rate. Over 83 per cent of governance
professionals expect their roles to change by
2025.
Three key themes emerged consistently from the
interviews, survey and roundtable.
The leading theme nominated by governance
professionals is the increased complexity of many
organisations, this relates to internal operations
as well as the influence of shareholders and other
external stakeholders

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

transparency, integrity and stewardship to ensure that organisations operate in a
manner which is most productive.
‘Governance focus has increased, the company secretary’s role has increased,
[there is] more work to do, and that work is more visible.’ (The Company Secretary:
Building trust through governance, Henley Business School)
The study, development and practice of governance are here to stay.

▪ World Economic Forum highlights risk of cyber attack among its highest global risks
▪ Over 90% large corporates (globally) have experienced incidents & attacks
▪ Top 5 priority for CEO’s – FTSE 100 & FTSE 250 – Wall Street Journal
▪ Breaches impact negatively on share price, consumer, people & partner confidence
▪ Cyber crime makes more money than the narcotics / drugs trade and is a truly
international ‘borderless’ crime
22. Danger Signs for Security
Common mistakes that lead to failed programmes
10 | Jared Carstensen | 24th May2016
Ineffective security programmes / departments do the following:
Χ “Why would anyone want to hack us” mind-set.
Χ Treat all information and systems the same.
Χ Use ‘No’ often to block projects or initiatives.
Χ Apply checklist based security!
Χ Drive policies as the primary way to change behaviours.
Χ Try to fix all security risks with technologies and products.
Χ No metrics or reporting to Audit Committee / Board.
Χ Treat security as a technical area that is looked after by the IT department.
Χ Inability to communicate in simple and concise business terms.
24. Effective Security Beats ‘Good’ or CompliantSecurity
Focus on the small steps to yield big changes
12 | Jared Carstensen | 24th May2016
Effective security programmes / departments do the following:
Endorsement, mandate and comment of support from highest member of company.
Prioritised and categorised list of critical services, functions and systems.
Embrace organisational culture and promote positive behaviours.
Make the message stick and memorable – people first / focussed approach!
Ongoing reporting to Management, Audit Committee and Board.
Which projects have been seen as a success, why they succeeded & replicate those.
Focus on capability and enhancing maturity as opposed to purely controls based security.
The best form of security is the one this is invisible to the user and has various layers.
Consistently enhance practices to help prepare for incident response / breach activities.
26. Cyber Sales / Scaremongering – it has got to stop!
Call for calm, actionable and measured steps
26 | Jared Carstensen | 24th May2016
27. Car Accidents vs Cyber Breaches!
Are there similarities / comparisons?
27 | Jared Carstensen | 24th May2016
• Rules of road to protect drivers and pedestrians
• Regulations and standards to protect businesses and consumers
• Speed limits depending on the type of road
• Regulations depending on the type of industry and sector
• Wide choice of cars available depending on your needs
• Wide choice of solutions and providers depending on your requirements
• By not adhering to rules and laws of the road, you put your own and others’ lives at risk
• By not adhering to security rules, standards, frameworks and best practice, thousands of
incidents are happening every day putting your organization and it’s customers at risk
• Despite all road safety guidelines, laws and awareness there are countless road accidents
and fatalities every day
• Despite all the standards, guidance, frameworks, regulations and more solutions and
services than ever before; countless incidents, breaches and non-compliance continue
Is your organization driving recklessly, or are they simply asleep at the wheel?

DYSFUNCTIONAL LEADERSHIP
IN CORPORATIONS
Ken Lay
AKA ‘Kenny Boy’
Jeffrey Skilling
72. Amazon May 2016- 163253 books with ‘Leadership’ in their
title. If you read one every day including weekends it would
take you 447 years….
BUT – there are only
346 books with
‘Followership’ in their
title
We have a fixation on
leadership, though
without followers
there are no leaders…
73.
74. SOME ASSUMPTIONS
• Followers should
conform – mostly, do
what they are told
• Leaders know best
(but do they always?)
• Dissent is resistance to
be overcome
Who’s
the boss
BBC 2
March
2016
78. A MAJOR SOURCE
OF ERROR???
‘The temptation to tell a
Chief in a great position
the things he most likes
to hear is one of the
commonest explanations
of mistaken policy. Thus
the outlook of the leader
on whose decision fateful
events depend is usually
far more sanguine than
the brutal facts admit.’
Winston Churchill (1931)
INGRATIATION...
79. ‘A lot of times in politics you have
people look you in the eye and tell
you what's not on their mind.’ --
George W. Bush, Sochi, Russia, April
6, 2008
80. EFFECTS OF FLATTERY
• A study of 451 CEOs looked at the impact on them of more
intense and frequent flattery (e.g., offering exaggerated
compliments) and opinion conformity (e.g., expression of
agreement even when people don't agree).
• Flattery and opinion conformity
linked to CEOs having more
favourable evaluations of their own
strategic judgments and leadership
skills, being less likely to make
strategic changes when firm
performance suffered, and more
prone to lead firms that suffered
persistently poor performance.
Hyuan Park, Westphal and Stern, ASQ,
2011
81. EFFECTS OF NARCISSISM
• Highly narcissistic CEOs less responsive to
whether recent firm performance was good or
bad - continued to make equally risky
investments (e.g. acquisitions of new companies)
regardless of recent performance. Their less
narcissistic peers more cautious in bad times and
tended to take bigger risks during good times.
Chatterjee and Hambrick, ASQ, 2011
82. EFFECTS OF NARCISSISM
• Less narcissistic CEO's weren’t affected much by
media praise. The highly narcissistic made riskier
investments after getting praised in the media.
The narcissists were swayed more by "social
praise" and less by recent performance!
• ‘The only benefit of flattery is that by hearing
what we are not, we may be instructed what we
ought to be.’
Jonathan Swift
83. IRRATIONAL BIAS–
ILLUSORY SUPERIORITY
• 69% of drivers consciously worry about being
killed when driving
• Only 1% believe they drive worse than average
• 98% think they are safer than, or as safe, as the
average driver.
Brake (Road Safety Charity) Survey of 800 UK
adults, March 2011
84. ‘Have you ever noticed that anybody
driving slower than you is an idiot, and
anyone going faster than you is a
maniac?’
George Carlin
87. HOW WE TREAT
CRITICAL FEEDBACK
• Subjecting critical
feedback to criticism/
accepting positive
feedback
• ‘I DON’T BELIEVE IT’
• Deny failure
88.
89.
90.
91.
92.
93. WHAT CAN BE DONE?
• Seek out formal and informal
contact with people as often as
possible
94. WHAT CAN BE
DONE?• Scrutinise positive
feedback more rigorously
than negative feedback
• Institutionalise dissent
into the decision-making
process – e.g. promote/
cherish/ reward
contrarians
• Create a culture that
confronts ‘the brutal
facts of reality’ – i.e.
where the truth is heard
95. A CLIMATE WHERE THE
TRUTH IS HEARD
Lead with questions,
not answers
Practice saying:
• ‘I don’t know’
• ‘What do you think?’
• ‘Where have we gone wrong?’
• ‘What could we do better?’
96. A CLIMATE WHERE THE
TRUTH IS HEARD
Engage in debate, not coercion
• Have chaotic meetings
• Loud debate
• Heated discussions
• Healthy conflict

What do regulatory authorities mean by culture?
Culture is like DNA: it shapes judgements, ethics and behaviours that
matter to the reputation and performance of the business
It shapes the service provided to customers and clients
An effective culture is one that supports:
• the fair treatment of customers, and
• Promotes sound risk taking and risk aware decisions throughout
the business
Examine culture though the lens of doing the right thing
Ownership and responsibility for ensuring risk aware and client
focussed outcomes rests with each and every employee and should
not be seen as something that can be delegated to the risk &
compliance functions

Drivers of Culture at a firm
Examine culture through the lens of doing the right thing whether from a risk or conduct perspective
- Strong Corporate Governance
- Setting the tone from the top
- Translating this into easily understood business
practices through values such as accountability and
ensuring effective communication and challenge
- Supporting the right behaviours through
performance management, employee development
and reinforcing these through reward programmes
The responsibility for ensuring the right outcomes resides with everyone at the firm, led by senior management, and not
something delegated to compliance or control functions

119. ODCE and the Companies Act
One Year on
Kevin Prendergast
Head of Enforcement, ODCE
120. ODCE Impacts
In insolvency
Offering restriction undertakings to remove the need for
High Court proceedings
Power to wind up companies in public interest – none to
date
In examinership
ODCE must get copy of report to the Court – small
number to date
121. ODCE Impacts
In enforcement
Auditors must report offence of financial statements
failing to give a true and fair view – no reports to date –
preparing guidance for auditors
Directors’ loans can be validated by new Summary
Approvals Procedure – have found one example of this
being undertaken
122. Other judicial developments
Significant Court of Appeal judgement
DCE v Walsh & Ors, disqualification action by the
Office under what was s160(2)(h) CA 1990, now
s842(h) CA 2014, company struck off with debts
owing
High Court declined to disqualify on basis of general
economic downturn, lack of qualifications of
directors, scale of enterprise, past behaviour
Court of Appeal judgement in January 2016
123. Other judicial developments
Key aspects of judgement
“Financial maelstrom” does not change nature of the
law
Scale of enterprise and qualifications of directors are
irrelevant
Other past behaviour irrelevant
Passive directors cannot be exonerated on that basis,
all director expected to take steps to secure compliance
