About ICSP

 

 

The Institute of Corporate Secretaries of Pakistan was constituted to develop and regulate the profession of company secretaries in Pakistan. In early 1974 a number of prominent professionals stressed the need of forming an Institute for the profession of company secretaries. The Institute was formed under the Companies Act, 1913 as a company Limited by Guarantee. Since then, the Institute of Corporate Secretaries of Pakistan is functioning regularly for the professing of company secretaries. At present the Institute of Corporate Secretaries of Pakistan has about 700 associate members and more than 250 fellow members. The affairs of the Institute of Corporate Secretaries of Pakistan are managed professionally by a National Council. The Corporate Law Authority (now Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan) has felt the importance of the profession of company secretaries to create a corporate culture in the country. As a matter of fact a good corporate culture can be develop only through institutions not by the enforcement of corporate law. Therefore it is principally decided by the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan to convert the Institute of Corporate Secretaries of Pakistan in a statutory body. The statute for the same is under final stage of approval. It is expected that it will be enforced in near future. The Institute has its main office at Karachi.
