Zooming in further into the inner workings of the modern-day corporation, the rise of digitalisation has inevitably proliferated its way into the way corporations conduct general meetings, of which annual general meetings (AGMs) feature most conspicuously. However, as with any human-designed conception, virtual/hybrid AGMs are prone to faults that debilitate transparency, reliability and shareholder democratisation. Further accelerating the push for virtual/hybrid AGMs, the SC also issued a rallying call for listed issuers to continue leveraging technology to conduct general meetings beyond pandemic-related restrictions. By combining KPMG’s board advisory services with ConveneAGM’s established technology platform, we aim to revolutionise the future of general meetings in Malaysia. For listed issuers, technology will continue to play a crucial role in enabling opportunities.
