What Does The ICSA do? With over 100 years' experience, the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) is the recognised global voice on governance and regulatory issues in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. Working with governmental and other statutory bodies, ICSA promotes best practice and provides guidance on good governance. As the qualifying body for company secretaries and senior administrators, ICSA offers a professional qualification covering business, company law, corporate governance, management, finance/accounting, administration and company secretarial practice. No other professional body in the business area offers the breadth of knowledge which the ICSA Qualifying Scheme provides. Thousands of students are currently studying the programme, which is one of the most wide ranging professional qualifications available. The IQS is the scheme which leads to qualification as a Chartered Secretary and, with relevant work experience, the coveted membership of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA).
