“Secretarial Standards Board is doing multifarious functions.” Comment.

Secretarial Standards Board (SSB) is doing multifarious functions. The scope of SSB is to identify the areas in which Secretarial Standards need to be issued by the Council of ICSI and to formulate such Standards, taking into consideration the applicable laws, business environment and best secretarial practices. SSB will also clarify issues arising out of such Standards and issue guidance notes for the benefit of members of ICSI, corporates and other users. Thus, main functions of SSB are: Formulating Secretarial Standards; Clarifying issues arising out of the Secretarial Standards; Issuing Guidance Notes; and Reviewing and updating the Secretarial Standards / Guidance Notes at periodic intervals.
