◊ Course held in association with ICSA

9 Apr, 9 Sep, 26 Nov 08
Time: 9.00 – 17.00
Location: 16 Park Crescent, Regents Park, London W1B 1AH

The FSA’s listing regime has again undergone substantive change in recent months with the January implementation of Companies Act 2006 (bringing into force the Transparency Directive), the corresponding changes to the Listing Rules and the creation of the new Transparency and Disclosure Rules. 

This course has been specially developed as an introduction for company secretaries and other professionals who need to engage and comply with the Rules for a wide range of company transactions – from obtaining a listing through to continuing obligations, directors’ dealings and acquisitions and disposals. It aims to give delegates practical advice and guidance, and the information they need to navigate the Rules effectively and apply them in a range of business situations.
