Company Secretarial Services

A company secretary has the obligation and responsibility of ensuring a company complies with regulatory and statutory obligations which carry penalties for non-compliance. A company secretary’s key responsibilities revolve around maintaining and organising statutory records and facilitating communication with regulatory authorities. Therefore, engaging a professional who specialises in corporate governance and regulatory compliance to provide these services, ensures these obligations are properly discharged.

Key tasks performed by a company secretary include:

• Company Formation and Registration: assisting in the incorporation of companies and managing the registration process with the relevant government authorities.
• Compliance Management: ensuring the company adheres to all legal and regulatory requirements, including updating shareholder and director information, and notifying authorities of other changes within the company such as changes to shareholding or share capital.
• Board Meetings and Minutes: coordinating and documenting board meetings, resolutions, and minutes to ensure the company’s decisions are recorded accurately.
• Shareholder Services: managing communication with shareholders and facilitating shareholder meetings.
• Statutory Reporting: preparing and submitting necessary reports and documentation to regulatory bodies such as ASIC and the ASX.
• Corporate Governance Advice: providing expert guidance on corporate governance matters, including compliance with relevant laws and best practices.
