The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) launched an initiative in the form of a Unique Document Identification Number (UDIN) to improve corporate governance and strengthen the practising side of company secretaries. The UDIN will help to maintain a register of attestation and certification services, prevent counterfeiting of various attestations and certifications, ensure compliance with regard to ceilings on the number of certifications and attestations and enable stakeholders and regulators to verify genuinity of documents signed or certified by company secretaries in practice.
