Our History
The Chartered Governance Institute (CGI) Global (formerly Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators International) was originally founded in England in October 1891 and was known as the Institute of Secretaries. In 1902 it was granted its Royal Charter and became the Chartered Institute of Secretaries (CIS). The name has since been changed to The Chartered Governance Institute to describe the status and capabilities of the members more fully. In 1909 the first branch to be established outside the United Kingdom was formed in South Africa and in 1957 it became the Southern Africa Division. Zimbabwe was part of the Southern Africa Division until January 1992, when it was granted its autonomy as an independent territory with a seat on the International Council. Today there are divisions in South Africa, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong/China, Malaysia, Singapore, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and Associated Territories and Zimbabwe.
The Institute is the professional home of Governance and Accountancy professionals with a high level of competences in business administration, general management, accounting, company secretaryship, taxation, and corporate governance. Membership of the Institute is widely recognized internationally and is held in high esteem in the world business community. Members occupy senior positions in the private and public business sectors. There are two classes of members of the Institute, i.e. Fellows and Associates. All qualified members of the Institute are entitled to describe themselves as Chartered Governance Professionals (CGP) and use the designatory letters, FCGP or ACGP as appropriate. Members who specialize in accountancy are entitled to describe themselves as Chartered Governance Professionals Accountants (CGPA). Fellowship is the senior grade of membership. Another grade, GradCGP, comprises those who have successfully completed the examinations but have not yet gained sufficient qualifying service for Associateship. The members of the Institute work in a variety of organizations such as: Agriculture, Marketing, Industrial development, Electrical, Transport undertakings, Government departments, Incorporated Associations, Trade Associations, Universities, Banks, Building Societies, Insurance companies and countless organizations in the world.
