Corporate Secretary Services

A company secretary assists with statutory records, changes to company information and meeting documents. Confirm the specific scope with your service provider.

ACRA states that a company must appoint a company secretary within six months of registration. A sole director cannot also act as the company's secretary.

Confirm the proposed name and enquire about name approval, resolutions and filing.

A change can affect financial statements and filing arrangements. Check the applicable requirements and process for your company.

Confirm that the new address meets the applicable requirements and ask about the documents and record updates needed.

Plan the handover of records between the outgoing and incoming secretaries and confirm appointment and filing requirements.

Appointments and removals require relevant documents and updates to company records. Confirm applicable requirements, including local residency.

Enquire about the necessary documents, updates to company records and any applicable stamp duty; the process depends on the transaction.

Requirements and deadlines vary by company. Check ACRA’s current guidance in light of the financial year and any applicable exemptions.

Check whether the company needs to maintain and file registrable controller information, and consult ACRA’s current requirements.
