Corporate Secretarial Best Practice

Programme Overview

The role of a modern company secretary has evolved significantly, encompassing a broader and deeper range of responsibilities. Today, company secretaries are expected to manage not only traditional tasks such as arranging board meetings, preparing documents, taking minutes, filing, and acting as a liaison for directors, but also to understand and navigate general legislation and governance matters that impact their duties.

To be effective and relevant, a company secretary must embody a professional sense of responsibility, applying best practices with due care and diligence. This comprehensive understanding and application of their role can significantly influence a company’s performance.
