Regulations, the complexity of the economic environment, geopolitics, and other factors present increasing governance challenges for chairpersons and boards on both a national and transnational scale. This research looks at the growing responsibilities of company secretaries as governance professionals to address these challenges. Chairpersons and board members should be interested in the analysis of this report and the need to empower company secretaries/governance professionals to support them. To illustrate the extent to which these challenges affect corporate governance, this paper takes the Hong Kong context, covering the latest developments in the region and discussing issues that resonate for companies worldwide.
