About
The role of the Independent Director (ID) is paramount to upholding corporate integrity, ensuring effective governance, and protecting minority shareholder interests. This intensive professional certificate course, Independent Director: Essential Legal Duties and Boardroom Practice, is specifically designed for aspiring and current IDs, senior executives, and legal professionals to master the dual demands of statutory compliance and strategic contribution. The program moves beyond mere compliance, focusing squarely on the practical application and strategic influence required in modern boardrooms. We provide a focused examination of the regulatory landscape, primarily guided by the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI LODR Regulations in India. The course begins with Legal Roles and Duties, involving a deep dive into the legal framework, focusing on the specific Schedule IV duties, liabilities, and ethical conduct required of an ID. This includes their critical function in evaluating Related Party Transactions (RPTs) and managing conflicts of interest. Participants will also master Boardroom Acumen, learning the mechanics of effective board participation, how to critically review financial reporting, contribute constructively to strategic discussions, challenge management assumptions, and enhance overall board effectiveness.
