Bangkok, 17 May 2018 - SEC, together with SET and the Thai Listed Companies Association, organized a seminar for listed companies on May 17, 2018 at the SET building entitled “Disclosure of Information in Accordance with the New CG Code” to prepare for the application of Corporate Governance Code (CG Code) with a view to create sustainable values to businesses.
Executives and
representatives from key public and private agencies such as the Thai Listed
Companies Association, Tisco Financial Group Public Company Limited, the Thai
Institute of Directors Association, PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Limited, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Jaiyos Company Limited and Kasikorn
Asset Management Company Limited participated in a discussion on preparation
and disclosure in accordance with the new CG Code. Participants from more than
250 listed companies were in attendance.
SEC Senior Assistant Secretary-General Waratchya Srimachand
said that this seminar is intended to help listed companies understand that
despite the requirement to disclose the implementation of CG Code in the form
56-1, such requirement is merely to assist the board of directors to apply CG
Code principles into their business practice in order to create sustainable
value in the face of external uncertainties. In this regard, SEC, SET, IOD and
Thai Listed Companies Association are ready to assist and give support by
proving various forms of training so that the listed companies can apply CG
Code in a more practical way and suitable to their organizational contexts.
