Membership Policy
ACGA has a generally inclusive policy towards membership and welcomes as members companies with a direct involvement in corporate governance matters in Asia. Our members are largely drawn from the following sectors: pension funds; investment/asset management firms; insurance companies and brokers; banks and other financial institutions; publicly listed companies; private companies; and law, accounting and other professional firms. We also welcome educational institutions as members.

Please find below an introductory presentation on ACGA and our membership categories and benefits.

Membership Criteria
Under our Articles of Association, the ACGA Council is required to approve each new member. The Council uses the following criteria:

• Whether a prospective member is genuinely supportive of ACGA's mission to improve corporate transparency and accountability in Asia.
• Whether the company is making an effort to improve its own governance.
• Whether the company is helping to raise corporate governance standards locally or regionally.

Becoming a Member
For further details on becoming a member, and for a copy of our application form, please contact Mr. Jamie Allen, Secretary General, ACGA on (852) 2872 4048 or email to: jamie@acga-asia.org

Important notice
Due to potential conflicts of interest arising from our research and independent commentary work, ACGA is not open to membership from government bodies, market regulators and stock exchanges--or organisations primarily funded by them. We do, however, seek to work closely with regulators and exchanges, and to engage in a constructive dialogue with them.

The ACGA Council is also unlikely to approve the membership of commercial service firms with only an indirect link to corporate governance or whose membership could cause potential conflicts of interest for the Association.
