FCCISL forum on Company Act amendment, impacts

FORUM: The Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL), the apex private sector representative body in Sri Lanka is to present its monthly high-level policy forum - The Key Persons’ Forum which is organised by the FCCISL with its SME development arm, Small and Medium Enterprise Developers (SMED) on July 10. SMED was established in 1989 by Friedrich Naumann Stiftung as a project of the FCCISL.

The Key Persons’ Forum is organised as a part of the business/public awareness effort on issues pertaining to business, economy and the society.

The Forum provides a platform for eminent persons in responsible positions with expertise knowledge and/or decision-making powers to discuss and share experiences on policy perspectives on a face-to-face basis on matters relevant and of interest to the private sector.

The Forum takes up a wide range of topics related to local and global issues that make an impact on the private sector, such as, geo politics, globalization, economics, international relations, international trade, and more specifically issues related to business climate and the private sector.

The Forum is targeted for entrepreneurs, corporate heads, bankers, consultants, legal community, company secretaries and representatives of the private sector, professionals, public and private sector academics and civil society representatives.

The concept Key Persons’ Forum defers from any other Forums that are organised in the country. It provides the opportunity for the audience to interact with the guest speaker. We also invite a cross section of the private sector, media and diplomatic community amongst others to this important forum.

The guest speaker for the next “Key person’s forum is to be held at the Ceylon Continental Hotel Registrar of Companies D.K. Hettiarachchi will speak on ‘Amendments to the Companies Act and it’s Impact to the Business Community’.
