The collaboration will provide education and knowledge support for practising company secretaries, students, directors, governance professionals and risk managers.
According to Governance Institute’s chief executive Mr Steven Burrell, “The breakthrough integration of LexisNexis information and technology coupled with Governance Institute’s deep understanding of the needs and expectations of governance and risk professionals is a compelling combination. Robust governance and risk management practices go to the very core of every organisation in the country — be it public, private or not-for-profit — and demand 21st century education and knowledge offerings,” he said.
“LexisNexis is the premier global provider of information to corporate, legal, risk management, government, tax, accounting and academic professionals with rich resources in world-class content and leading-edge technology. Our strategic partnership will combine their expertise in developing indispensable knowledge resources with our mastery of governance knowledge, principles and practices to produce the best, most reliable and user-friendly guidance and tools for governance and risk professionals at any stage in their careers”, Mr Burrell said.
Governance Institute and LexisNexis will collaborate on content, industry insights, continuing professional development events and thought leadership. For instance, Governance Institute will assist in developing content for a new Practical Guidance module dedicated to company secretarial practice that will complement the existing LexisNexis Practical Guidance suite. In addition, LexisNexis will support industry-leading conferences and events offered by Governance Institute to develop the skills and careers of the governance profession.
“Our aim is to provide the best education for students entering the profession and to support current practitioners with practical professional development opportunities and content as they come to terms with increasing complexity in corporate regulation and practice,” Mr Burrell said.
LexisNexis Australia’s general manager Joanne Beckett added, “LexisNexis has a track record for producing highly-acclaimed resources that make it easy for professionals to perform at their best. Working with Governance Institute ensures that our governance-related guidance and tools meet the highest standards in quality, accuracy and practicality that our customers expect and deserve.”
