MICG: HRD Corp Registered Corporate Governance Training Provider Malaysia

The Malaysian Institute of Corporate Governance (MICG) is a governance institute founded in 1998 on recommendations from the High-Level Finance Committee on Corporate Governance. Based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, MICG delivers professional development in corporate governance, sustainability, risk management, and internal auditing. All programmes are HRD Corp claimable.

MICG is not a generic training house. It was set up specifically to raise governance standards in Malaysia, and that singular focus has shaped its programme design for over 25 years.

Is MICG Registered with HRD Corp?

Yes. MICG is listed in the HRD Corp ETRIS registry as a registered training provider. The institute is also registered with the Ministry of Finance (Ref: 357-0002351173).

What Training Programmes Does MICG Offer?

MICG structures its training around three delivery formats, all built on governance and sustainability subject matter.

The training areas span corporate governance, sustainability, internal auditing, risk management, ethical leadership, and board effectiveness. These are not broad-spectrum management courses. Each programme ties back to governance practice.

Who Should Consider MICG Training?

Board members, company secretaries, internal auditors, compliance officers, and risk managers working in regulated or publicly listed companies. MICG also works with government-linked companies and MSMEs through its governance advocacy work.

Organisations that need governance-specific training rather than general leadership development will find MICG more relevant than generalist training providers. The institute sits on Malaysia’s Corporate Governance Council and contributed to the Governance Code for Malaysian MSMEs, which gives its programmes a policy-informed perspective.

What Sets MICG Apart from Other Training Providers?

MICG operates as a governance institute first and a training provider second. It was established by policy recommendation, not as a commercial training business. This means its programmes reflect regulatory expectations and governance best practices rather than market trends.

The institute also provides advisory services for governance structure optimisation and sustainability strategy, which feeds back into the quality and relevance of its training content.

Key distinctions worth noting:

• Member of Malaysia’s Corporate Governance Council
• Member of the SME Governance Working Group under the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development
• Over 25 years of continuous operation in governance education
• Advisory services that complement training delivery
