Program Overview: What is Companies Act 2013 and Corporate Governance (India)?
Companies Act 2013 & Corporate Governance (India) is a 23-hour instructor-led program for legal, secretarial, audit, risk, finance, and compliance teams. It covers the Act's architecture and company formation, directors and board duties, committees and minutes, share capital and statutory audit, related party transactions, disclosures, and the compliance calendar. Sessions build working fluency in the Act through realistic governance cases.
Training runs across six modules with five practice sessions built around boardroom realities. Participants review board composition, test committee charters, draft minutes, track RPT approvals, and map the compliance calendar against real filing deadlines. Instructors coach each exercise, sharpening how teams read the Act, document decisions, and flag governance risks early. The program closes with a capstone mock board governance audit of a realistic company.
Governance failures rarely announce themselves: a missed filing, an undisclosed related party transaction, minutes that do not match the decision. Penalties and director disqualification follow teams that treat the Act as paperwork. This program teaches teams to run governance as a discipline: testing board composition, approving RPTs cleanly, and keeping a compliance calendar nobody has to chase.
The capstone runs a full mock board governance audit, and the artifact is a findings report a real board could act on. Teams examine a company's board composition, committee structures, minutes, filings, and RPT approvals, then write up every gap with a remediation plan attached. What goes back to the office is not just knowledge of the Act but a working audit method: the same review the team can repeat on its own boards next quarter.
The course closes with a capstone mock board governance audit: teams test a company's board composition, committees, minutes, filings, and RPT approvals, then write a findings report with a remediation plan. It is built for legal, secretarial, audit, risk, finance, and compliance teams that need working fluency in the Act, delivered in hybrid or live virtual formats with an instructor throughout.

Connect Indian Corporate Governance Duties With Accurate Records and Audit Evidence
Edstellar guides corporate teams from Companies Act foundations to board responsibilities, statutory records, and compliance calendars. Participants review sample appointment files, meeting packs, and filings before conducting a mock governance audit. Feedback focuses on traceability, record completeness, and defensible remediation priorities rather than treating training documents as legal assurance.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore company-secretarial and governance responsibilities to identify gaps in director records, board documentation, statutory filings, disclosures, and compliance-calendar ownership.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish company-law architecture before director duties, meetings and minutes, capital and audit records, then disclosure planning and the mock governance audit.
- Step 03
Align
We align corporate governance facilitation with legal, secretarial, finance, audit, and compliance roles, building statutory foundations for participants new to Indian company law.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt fictional appointment files, meeting packs, and company dossiers to relevant entity contexts without using confidential board deliberations or personal director records.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants audit disclosures, draft minutes, and trace filing obligations, receiving feedback on supporting records, clarity of resolutions, and completeness of compliance calendars.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the governance findings report for evidence-linked observations, coherent statutory mapping, accurate document review, and prioritized remediation with clear responsibilities.
