Bringing it together

Board rollout after preview

Assign directors' duties training to incoming and serving directors, track completion, and keep records for governance follow-up.

Built for boards and governance teams

Directors' duties training for the people who carry the duties.

Directors' duties attach personally to new directors, experienced board members, and founders alike, the moment they take a board seat.

New and first-time directors

Give incoming directors a structured grounding before their first board cycle.

Boards and committee members

Refresh serving directors on duties, committee mandates, and oversight expectations.

Company secretaries and governance teams

Support the teams who run board processes, filings, and the governance calendar.

Founders and SME directors

Help founder-directors understand the duties that attach the moment they join a board.

Why it matters

Directors carry personal duties, not just an oversight role.

Singapore directors are subject to fiduciary and statutory duties with real consequences. Practical training helps boards recognise where duties bite in ordinary decisions: conflicts, disclosures, filings, and risk oversight.

Conflicts of interest that are recognised too late
Disclosure and filing obligations handled inconsistently
Board committees operating without clear mandates
Risk oversight that never becomes structured reporting

FAQ

Questions before team rollout

Short answers for DPOs, HR teams, founders, and compliance managers considering online training.

Who should take directors' duties training?

Directors and board members, new and experienced, plus company secretaries, governance teams, and senior executives who work closely with the board.

Is this only for listed-company directors?

No. The base course covers duties that apply to Singapore directors generally. Aurora also offers board-committee deep-dives and industry overlays for listed companies, charities, family offices, and financial institution boards.

Does this replace legal advice for the board?

No. The training is educational. Boards should seek professional advice on specific transactions, disputes, or regulatory questions.

Can this be used for director onboarding?

Yes. It works well for incoming directors, annual board refreshers, and structured governance training programmes.

Is Aurora Compliance Technologies a law firm?

No. Aurora is a compliance training software platform. The content is prepared with Singapore legal/compliance input, but the platform does not provide legal advice.

Do we have to buy each course separately?

No. There is no per-course pricing. One subscription includes the entire library: all ten subjects, plus specialist and industry modules, with content updates included.
