60 ROLE OF COMPANY SECRETARIES
From Professionals Point of View: The introduction of Due Diligence Reporting by Company Secretary in practice is expected to lay down strong foundation for good Governance, culture among borrowing corporate and correspondingly enhance the comfort level of the Banks by reducing the information asymmetry prevailing currently.
