On September 28 and 29, 2017, SZSE held the first training program for recent listings, attracting 125 participants, with 87 newly listed companies involved. Newly-replaced chairmen, general managers, actual controllers or board secretaries from existing companies were also enrolled.
The required training course on listing for new listed companies touches upon the spirit of the National Financial Work Conference, information disclosure, corporate governance and party building, prevention of insider trading, use of capital market instruments, investor relations, etc. The training for recent listings was specially aimed at the key personnel such as chairmen of the board, general managers, actual controllers and board secretaries as per relevant requirements of China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), and was conducted in accordance with the spirit of the National Financial Work Conference and the arrangements of the Mid-year Regulatory Work Conference of CSRC to guide listed companies to improve corporate governance, enhance party building, comply with laws and regulations on operation, and improve quality.
