The concept of corporate governance is becoming increasingly important in companies, especially to avoid mismanagement.
Good corporate governance is necessary to enable companies operate more efficiently, to improve access to capital and mitigate risk. To ensure that there is good corporate governance in place in companies there is a growing momentum to improve standards of individual directors and boardroom performance through education, training and evaluation.
The Sri Lanka Institute of Directors (SLID), the trailblazer on board governance in Sri Lanka, certified 12 participants from the 9th intake who completed all four parts of the flagship Board Leadership Director Certification Program (BLT) at a recently held event at the Kingsbury.
Rasakantha Rasiah, SLID Chairman welcomed the participants, he welcomed Shiromal Cooray and in his introduction stated that Shiromal contributed greatly in the infancy stage of SLID and one of those responsible to the stature SLID has grown into its continued success, especially during her term as SLID Chairperson.
The following have successfully completed all four parts of the program and their names will be added onto SLID’s list of potential Independent Directors and shared if they meet the relevant search criteria of companies. This is the only list in Sri Lanka which includes names of people who have completed a director certification program which is accredited by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC).
