Summary:Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and India makesignificant reference to director training, and specify requirements or guidelines with respect to it.This is in keeping with the OECD's Priorities for Asia that were agreed last November. Most other jurisdictions also make some sort of reference to training. Japan does nothing it all; it does not even have a Corporate Governance Code or listing requirements on the topic.
