Corporate Secretarial Services 

Pursuant to the companies act, all private limited companies must appoint at least one company secretary, be it local or foreign companies within 6 months. Company secretarial services must be provided by an individual residing locally in Singapore, and they must not be the sole director of the company.

Why do you need a company secretary?

Rules and regulation 

Under Section 171 of the Singapore Companies’ Act, Chapter 50, Singapore companies are required to appoint a Singapore Company Secretary to ensure that the business entity/company comply with Companies’ Act legally.

Key and main role of a Singapore Company Secretary

Company secretarial personnel have a very wide job scope. These services range from updating and reporting company information to ACRA, to preparation of AGMs, EGMs and resolutions of the Singapore company. There are several categories that are used to broadly categorise the responsibilities of a Company Secretary which we will be sharing here. This list is non-exhaustive and there are more than we will be sharing here.

  • Administrative Role

This is the main and primary role of Company Secretarial personnel and it is also how they contribute most to the Company. Administrative role services include being in charge of ACRA related compliance work and ensuring that theSingapore Company meets its deadlines – an example of which is Annual Returns.

AGMs and EGMs are also a typical preparation of work done by Company Secretaries which involves meeting agenda and meeting minutes which are maintained by the Company Secretary. In addition, some other examples are preparing and assisting on issues such as share issues or transfer and the maintaining of shareholder register.

  • Advisory Role

Companies also depend on Company Secretaries for their advice, as they have extensive knowledge of the legal and compliance framework on top advising of internal governance of the Company. They also communicate often with Directors and Shareholders, providing them key information and to help them in their strategy and decision-making process. Company Secretaries will also be able to advise and identify on non-compliance with certain decisions to be made and thus ensure that the Company stay compliant.

  • Fiduciary Role

Company Secretaries also have a fiduciary role to always act in the best interests of the Company, just like any other officers appointed.
