Saira Nasir

Saira Nasir is an accomplished fellow member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan and a Fellow member of the Institute of Corporate Secretaries of Pakistan. Ms. Saira has indulged herself not just as an audit practitioner; rather she has diligently remained connected to the Institute to alleviate the system of audit and accountancy education and training to ensure continued professional development for its members and students. Therefore, she has been actively involved in conducting various professional trainings, consultations, workshops, seminars, webinars, podcasts related to varying domains from specific topics of reporting and disclosure requirements in Pakistan, best practices for internal audit and internal control, areas impacting corporate governance especially family businesses; to generalized practices of innovation in businesses and e-Learning to coaches, trainers, teachers, students and other audiences.

She has also meticulously carried out special assignments related to Corporate Governance; including Board Performance Evaluations and Director Orientation Programs. A case study- Disclosure Requirements on Corporate Governance – Pakistan, was prepared and presented by her in the 24th session of ISAR, held in Geneva in October 2009, under the auspices of United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

Currently she is offering independent services as Corporate Governance consultant. However, her aim for “enablement, empowerment and development” of accountancy professionals has led her to participate as an active member through several committees including the Audit Committee of Pakistan Human Development Fund; the Women Committee, Continuing Professional Development Committee and Economic and Advisory Committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan. She is on the boards of Allied Rental Modaraba and Power Cement Limited in the capacity of an Independent Director.
