Certification course for compliance officers

MANILA, Philippines — Section 24 of the Revised Corporation Code that took effect on Feb. 23, 2019 mandates corporations vested with public interest to elect a compliance officer. This opens a career path in an organization with a rank of senior vice president based on Section 1.6 of the Code of Corporate Governance for Publicly-Listed Corporations.  This role must be a separate position from the corporate secretary.
