How a training engagement works in Kochi

  1. Share your team size, sectors and locations so we scope the code of conduct training session to the right audience.
  2. We assign a PropertyKawach empanelled legal partner or subject expert who specialises in code of conduct training.
  3. Agree the format — a 60–90 minute awareness session, a half-day workshop or an annual retainer.
  4. Sessions are delivered on-site at your premises or campus, or online.
  5. Participants receive materials and, where the programme provides one, a certificate of completion.
  6. We document the session for your compliance record and attendance file.
  7. An optional annual retainer covers periodic refreshers and new-joiner batches.

  • An attendance record for your compliance file
  • Certificate of completion, where the programme provides one
  • Q&A and scenario discussion tailored to your sector

Is code of conduct training mandatory in Kochi?

A vigil (whistleblower) mechanism is mandatory for listed companies and for companies that accept public deposits or borrow above prescribed limits, under Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI's LODR Regulations. A documented code of conduct and ethics programme is expected of any organisation serious about governance.

Who should attend in Kochi

All employeesThe code, expected conduct and how to report concerns safely.
Managers & leadershipSetting the tone, handling disclosures and preventing retaliation.
Audit committee & complianceRunning the vigil mechanism and investigating disclosures.

Cost of non-compliance

Failure to establish a required vigil mechanism, or to act on disclosures, exposes the company and its directors to action under the Companies Act and SEBI regulations, weakens the employer's position in misconduct cases, and carries serious reputational and investor fallout.

Why these programmes matter

A vigil mechanism is mandatory for many companies

Listed companies and certain others must establish a vigil mechanism under Section 177 of the Companies Act. Training is what makes it a mechanism employees actually use rather than a policy on a shelf.

Culture is set by what managers tolerate

A code of conduct only works when managers model it and know how to respond to a concern. The session is aimed at the behaviours, not just the document.

Retaliation destroys the mechanism

The fastest way to break a whistleblower channel is a single retaliation. Non-retaliation and confidential-handling training protects both the reporter and the company.
