The Director Certification Program (DCP) is the country’s first-ever formal director training program with certification. The Program is part of the Myanmar Institute of Directors’ Learning Series and content is developed by Singapore Management University’s well-known Executive Program with MIoD as its local partner, where we aim to deliver executive training to a network of public and private sector leaders in Myanmar.
This unique 3 full days in-person program is set within an Asian business context and provides a well-rounded board-level view of key strategies and focal issues facing many companies in Myanmar.
This Program reviews the Myanmar Companies Law in the context of Directors’ roles and responsibilities including the regulatory requirements that Directors are required to follow as prescribed by the law. Per MCL, the Director’s liability is a very new concept in Myanmar, and the participants will hear about how to mitigate this.
Review of key challenges Myanmar companies are facing today while implementing a strong corporate governance structure in place to attract more foreign direct investment into Myanmar. The participants will also look at family governance especially succession planning by reviewing case studies of well-known families in Asia.
Directors also need to understand the story behind the numbers, financial statement analysis, and benchmarking of key financial indicators and ratios which are critical in understanding the financial health of companies, as well as a review of well- known financial frauds and the lessons that Directors can learn from these past case studies.
This course will be very interactive with reviews of many case studies around Asian countries to enforce key learning points and engagement with fellow participants and trainers through work examples to upskill and equip the Directors of Myanmar companies with knowledge and ability to lead in the ever-changing times of Myanmar business landscape.

| WHY ARE AUDIT COMMITTEES IMPORTANT?
The audit committee is one of the most important board committees. It plays a critical role in ensuring a company’s financial reporting is timely, reliable, and compliant, and its internal controls and risk management measures are effective. Numerous studies have confirmed that businesses can better mitigate risk, safeguard against mismanagement, and maximize shareholder value if they have sound corporate governance structures.
In Myanmar, the Companies Law – passed in December 2017 – is expected to modernize company formation and management and demand stronger oversight and corporate governance structures among the country’s corporations. These are important developments for Myanmar’s overall investment climate and ones that will require boards of directors, particularly audit committees, to play an active role.
| ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The MIoD Audit Committee for Directors Program provides targeted board-level training for audit committee members and other directors or executives. Developed based on IFC’s methodology, the program aims to help you gain an in-depth understanding of the functioning of an Audit Committee. This is one of the most crucial components of a company’s corporate governance framework. The ACMP – facilitated by international and Myanmar directors, industry experts, and corporate governance professionals – is delivered through interactive and dynamic sessions and draws on relevant case studies to encourage discussions and peer exchange.

| Why is Corporate Governance Important?
|
Good corporate governance brings many benefits to individual companies and overall markets, including improving performance, increasing access to finance, and fostering sustained growth. In Myanmar, the new Companies Act – passed in December 2017 – is modernizing company formation and management as well as demanding stronger oversight and corporate governance structures among the country’s corporations. These are important developments for Myanmar’s overall investment climate and ones that require boards of directors and management to strengthen the accountability and transparency of their companies. Building your company’s corporate governance structures, policy framework, and practices involves putting in place measures that can be implemented over the short, medium, and long term. Companies that are willing to undergo corporate governance changes send a strong signal to the market that they aspire to higher integrity and transparency standards. Such changes will also improve operational efficiency and performance, create greater value for shareholders, and attract more investors. |
