SSM Annual Dialogue 2022: Company Directors and Business Owners Training

Following the recent Annual Dialogue 2022 conducted by Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) on 6 October 2022, SSM provided the presentation slides and Summary of Issues and Feedback for the public.

Training for Company Directors and Business Owners is one of the issues that have been addressed.

Proposal:

• At least one lesson or training is required for every director or a business owner.

Feedback:

SSM does not compel any individuals or agencies to participate in SSM training.

However, SSM encourages any agencies, including government agencies and local governments, that engage with businesses to encourage those businesses to attend SSM-organized training.

SSM is also a service provider for any agency or state government that demands director training programmes.

In this regard, SSM has received several invitations from various agencies and state governments to operate as a training service provider to directors or entrepreneurs who are obliged to attend agency/state government training.

Regarding the diversity of training, SSM has held many awareness programs and campaigns for companies and businesses each year.

The SSM Training Academy has prepared the following new training for corporate directors and business owners:

1. Onboarding Programme for First-Time Directors. Statutory Roles And Governance Matters;

2. Business Model Canvas: From Ideas to Successful Business Ventures;

3. Building Business Resilience Through Prioritised Sustainable Development Goals;

4. Intellectual Property Strategies for the Modern-Day Business Owner: Start, Grow, Expand; and

5. Comprehensive Accounting Workshop and Consultation for Owner-Managed Businesses, as well as Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Businesses (MSMEs).
