Company Secretary

A Company Secretary is an important link between the company, its board of directors, shareholders and regulatory authorities. They play a role in making sure a company complies with legal, secretarial and corporate governance standards. Core duties usually include scheduling and organising board meetings, preparing agendas and documentation, taking minutes and liaising with shareholders. They may also be responsible for interpreting company law, advising board members on their legal and financial responsibilities and managing share registration. Company Secretaries work across all industries, in large corporations, non-profit organisations and government bodies. They often operate as part of a company's senior management team.
