It is the responsibility of company secretaries to ensure organizational compliance with normal financial and legal practice and to promote high standards of corporate governance. Company secretaries are not obliged to provide legal advice, but a knowledge and understanding of the relevant legislation is essential for them to effectively advise and act.
Company secretaries also play an important communication role, acting as the go-between for company stakeholders and the board. Their duty in this position is to make regular and accurate reports on the latest company developments and procedural changes. The role of company secretary is a key position in the organization, working at the heart of the business, while always ensuring the organization is operating lawfully. It’s not surprising that a company secretary is often described as a trusted adviser.
We provide trustee and nominee services for those who require discretion, confidentiality and anonymity and act as named local and receiving manager which we charge on a monthly basis.
Your interim company secretary might typically have tasks including:
Before the meeting – We start by developing forward plans for all your meetings to ensure that the appropriate items are on the meeting agenda. Having forward plans in place helps to ensure that meeting agendas are scheduled at least a year in advance and with all appropriate items on the agenda in good time. The forward plans are then supported by meeting schedules containing deadlines showing when the reports need to be ready for circulation to the Board.
We can also assist in drafting meeting agendas that are based on forward plans, chasing up and collating reports before circulating to the Board at least seven to ten days before the meeting date. In addition, with the advance of modern technology, Board members no longer have to wait for reports to be posted out. We are knowledgeable about a number of Board and Commitee portals and can therefore advise your organisation/Board on the most appropriate tool to receive Board papers electronically.
At the meeting – Following the dispatch of reports, we are available to attend meetings to take professional, detailed board meeting minutes. Our minutes are version-controlled, quality checked and what’s more, draft minutes are presented for your approval within five working days of the meeting!
You may convene only one Annual General Meeting (AGM) a year but we typically organize a number on behalf of our clients – so for us, the preparation involved is second nature. Working hand in hand with third parties such as registrars, we provide AGM support, drafting all the necessary paperwork to ensure your AGM is valid and runs smoothly.
Official bodies and associations that involve the general public (including companies with shareholders) are often required by constitution, charter, by-laws governing the body) to hold an AGM. As the name suggests, these are held every year to elect the board of directors and inform their members of previous and future activities. It is an opportunity for the shareholders and partners to receive copies of the company’s accounts, as well as reviewing performance over the past year and asking any questions about the direction the organization will take in the future.
We are able to provide an end-to-end AGM support service for your Annual General Meetings, which starts well in advance of the meeting date itself.
