NSE Academy has entered into a pact with Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) for training programmes in the area of finance and other allied verticals.
"The over-arching MoU encompasses the two entities to conduct training programmes in the area of business responsibility and other allied areas," the NSE Academy said.
As the top 500 firms are mandatorily required to disclose the business responsibility report (BRR) and other listed firms can voluntarily disclose the BRR, the training programmes can help such companies meet the learning needs.
