Why every Singapore company needs a qualified company secretary and what the role actually involves on a day to day basis.
Singapore law requires every company to appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation. The role is far more than administrative. A good secretary acts as the bridge between the board, the regulators and the shareholders.
Core responsibilities
- Maintain statutory registers and meeting minutes.
- Prepare and file resolutions with ACRA.
- Advise directors on their statutory duties.
- Coordinate annual general meetings and shareholder communications.
