UEM EDGENTA BERHAD Integrated Annual Report 2025 230 DIRECTORS’ CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMMES Recognising the importance of continuous education for Directors to gain insight into the state of economy, technological advances, regulatory updates and management strategies, a specific budget is allocated for directors’ training. The Board’s training needs are assessed and identified through the Board Effectiveness Assessment annually. Other than the individual director’s own initiative in attending trainings that will enhance their knowledge and skill, the Board is regularly updated on the availability of external training courses for their consideration by the Company Secretary and the Edgenta Academy team. Since the enforcement of corporate liability under the MACC Act 2009, the NRC has recommended for all Directors of the Company to attend at least one (1) external briefing relating to Section 17A, MACC Act 2009 to keep them abreast of this regulatory development that is significant to the Company’s business operation as well as individual director or employees’ conduct.
