With qualified accountants and attorneys on staff, we offer expert advice on various business and commercial matters, allowing you to navigate complex regulations while staying focused on your core objectives.
Company Secretarial Services
- The company secretary is a strategic position of considerable influence at the heart of governance operations within an organisation.
- Governance describes the way that an organisation is directed and controlled, which includes a company’s strategy and decision-making, how it achieves its aims, and ensuring that all activities undertaken comply with legal, ethical and regulatory requirements.
- Company secretaries have a broad skill set – corporate law, finance, governance, strategy and corporate secretarial practice – and they advise a company’s board in these key areas, providing support to the Chair, CEO and non-executive directors.
- The specific responsibilities of a company secretary vary depending upon the level of the job role, the size of the organisation and the sector in which it operates. However, responsibilities typically include:
Guiding the chairman and board on their responsibilities under the rules and regulations to which they are subject and on how those responsibilities should be discharged (Cadbury 1992). - Supporting the chairman in ensuring the board functions efficiently and effectively.
Ensuring good information flows within the board and its committees and between senior management and non-executive directors, as well as facilitating induction and assisting with professional development as required. - Maintaining good shareholder relations and keeping the board informed on shareholders’ views.
Developing and overseeing the systems that ensure that the company complies with all applicable codes and legal and statutory requirements. - We are monitoring changes in relevant legislation and the regulatory environment and taking action accordingly.
- Overseeing the day-to-day administration of the company, e.g. maintaining statutory books, including registers of members, directors and secretaries, organising board meetings and AGMs, preparing agendas and taking minutes.
- Having responsibility for facilities, HR, insurance, investor relations, pension administration, premises and share registration (this only applies to some company secretaries).
