1. Responsibilities of A Corporate Secretary
The responsibilities of a company secretary are broad – from administrative matters to ensuring your company is operating according to the legal requirements of Singapore, secretaries act like the legal compliance pillars of your company. Their responsibilities may vary based on your company’s needs.
Here are some responsibilities of a company secretary:
Ensure Statutory Compliance
Every company in Singapore must abide by the country’s relevant laws and regulations, to ensure statutory compliance. Your company secretary ensures that your company is abiding by document filing requirements, such as submitting and filing annual returns.
Board Meeting Support
Company secretaries’ role in a board meeting is to prepare meeting minutes, ensuring all directors and/or shareholders receive all necessary information for decision-making and assistance in generating director’s resolutions for board decisions.
Record-Keeping & Meeting Book
Company secretaries are responsible for keeping the company records up-to-date and accurate. This means to update the company records and ACRA if there are changes such as change in director, change in company registered address or change in the director/shareholder information.
All-in-all, company secretaries do not just do filing onto ACRA. Secretaries also hold the important role of making sure your company remains compliant with statutory requirements, ensuring smooth operations.
