SME’s require the services of a company secretary for Board meetings as much as large corporations do!

A company secretary is not just essential and relevant in large entities or organisations, it is also very important to any small to medium business to have access to the services of a professional, well qualified company secretary in order to avoid the risks associated with any compliance issues they may not have been attended to.

The major role that a company secretary plays in any business is to act as the chief administrative officer of any entity, and because very few small to medium businesses can afford to have a dedicated company secretary, many of them find themselves headed for trouble due to non-compliance with regulations stipulated in the Companies Act.

The important factor is that a company secretary, along with directors, is responsible for specific tasks under the Companies Act to reduce any risk faced by the company due to their unawareness of compliance issues.

Should the board or the directors try to sort out these compliance issues on their own, they will be wasting valuable time that could otherwise be used to focus on the growth of their business.

The role that a company secretary plays in making sure that board procedures are followed strictly and reviewed on a regular basis, is key to the successful functioning of any board, acting as a guide to the chairman and the board in terms of what their responsibilities are and how they should be carried out.
