ICSAN History

The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN) is a leading recognized professional body in Nigeria dedicated to enhancing the status and practice of Corporate Governance and Public Administration. The International body was founded in Britain in 1891 and received Royal Charter in 1902.

The Institute in Nigeria was established many years ago as an associate of the international body. It was incorporated under the Companies Act 1968. It was granted a Charter by Act No. 19 of 1991 (formerly Decree No. 19 of 1991). The ICSAN educational and professional structure is dedicated to the task of broadening the professional horizons of tomorrow’s managers by providing programmes on a wide range of subjects that lead to a qualification which is nationally and internationally recognised.

ICSAN is the only professional body authorized in Nigeria to conduct the examinations leading to the qualification of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. The Institute is a member of the Corporate Secretaries International Association (CSIA), a Geneva-registered global organization, dedicated to developing and growing the study and practice of Secretaryship to improve professional standards, the quality of governance practice and to improve organizational performance. The Association is the global voice of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals.

Who is a Chartered Secretary and Administrator?

Chartered Secretaries and Administrators are high ranking Professionals who are trained to uphold the highest standards of corporate governance, effective operations, compliance and administration. Highly valued by employers for their ICSAN training, Chartered Secretaries are the primary source of advice on the conduct of business. This can span everything from legal advice on conflict of interest, through accounting advice on the development of strategy and corporate planning. Chartered Secretaries are employed as Chairs, Chief Executives and Non-Executives Directors, as well as Managers and Company Secretaries and Administrators.

What We Do

The Institute is a leading authority on corporate governance. We represent the interests of business when legislation is reviewed and amended. Through our qualification scheme, we equip professionals with the skills to become Chartered Secretaries. As work practices and employers’ requirements change, the Institute’s Post-Qualifying Education (PQE) helps Chartered Secretaries adapt by updating their knowledge and skills throughout their career. This is achieved through a range of programmes e.g. conferences, workshops, public lecture, and Mandatory Continuing Professional Education (MCPE).

Why is ICSAN Different

Our Qualifying Scheme is unique. No other professional body provides a post graduate qualification that is as broad based as the ICSAN’s. Chartered Secretaries and Administrators are trained in business, company law, corporate governance, management, finance, administration and company secretaryship.
