The Role of a Company Secretary

Company secretary duties involve upholding effective corporate governance throughout the entire life cycle of the company, from its establishment to its dissolution. When a company undergoes liquidation, the authority of the directors and company secretaries is terminated, and a liquidator is appointed.

Through the enforcement of board policies and procedures, along with the efficient organization of board agendas and necessary briefing materials, the company secretary plays a pivotal role in bolstering the board's productivity. It is imperative that all company directors have open access to the secretary. Typically, the corporate secretary is responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the company, including the coordination of board meetings and the management of crucial aspects related to corporate governance, shareholder management, and communication between various departments within the company.
