The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) has carried out reviews of its member agencies and agencies applying for registration in the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) systematically since 2011, and since 2015 with a revised review methodology.  In Spring 2018, ENQA’s members decided that ENQA Agency Review process should undergo an external evaluation to assess the system’s compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) and its fitness for purpose in supporting agencies in enhancing the quality of their work. After an open call for tender, the independent stakeholders steering committee selected the Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and Education (NIFU) to be the coordinator of the review of ENQA. The self-assessment report (SAR) by ENQA was prepared in Spring 2019, followed by a site-visit in September 2019.  The review panel, chaired by Professor Bjørn Stensaker, Research Professor of University of Oslo, also Council Member of HKCAAVQ, comprises the following members: Susanna Karakhanyan, President, INQAAHE Ian Kimber, Director of Quality Development, QAA Liv Teresa Muth, PhD Student, University of Ghent Maria João Pires da Rosa, Assisstant Professor, University of Aveiro Maiki Udam, Development Manager, EKKA The external review report by NIFU was published in February 2020.  ENQA has set up a review process revision team to take forward the recommendations, including a revised and improved methodology in line with the outcomes of the SAR and external review, to be completed by the end of 2020.

Ms Edith Shih FCG(CS, CGP) FCS(CS, CGP)(PE) International President, The Chartered Governance Institute (CGI), and former HKICS President, was awarded the Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS) Prize 2019. Ms Shih is currently Executive Director and Company Secretary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, and also Deputy Chair of the HKCAAVQ Finance Committee and Member of the HKCAAVQ Council. She was the first female International President of the CGI from Asia and the first President from Hong Kong. Edith’s involvement with CGI provides a link between the CGI and HKICS, and has been important for the repositioning exercise. That led to the launch of the Chartered Governance Professional qualification, change of the name of Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) to CGI and most recently the launch of the new qualifying programme – the Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme.
