SID rolls out initiatives to enhance directors’ regulatory competencies

The programmes will begin in 2025.

The Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) has launched new initiatives to build directors' competencies to keep up with changes in regulations that govern them.

The first initiative is the Listed Entity Director Bridging Programme, which includes five modules on regulatory compliance and corporate governance for newly appointed directors of listed companies.

The programme will begin in March 2025, but enrolment will open in November.

SID will also roll out Singapore Governance for Outstanding Organisation Directors Programme 2.0 for charity board members.

Co-developed by SID and the National Council of Social Service, the updated programme covers governance for non-profit organisations based on the latest Code of Governance for Charities and Institutes of a Public Character.

The course includes new topics like anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, sustainability, and digitalisation. Registration for the course will open in February 2025 and classes will begin in June 2025.

Next year, SID will also release Cyber Resilience Guide for Boards, a playbook designed to help board members build cyber resilience within their organisations.

It will provide an overview of the regulatory environment of Singapore-listed companies, discuss the responsibilities of directors of listed entities, and describe the functions of boards and committees.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
