A company secretary, also known as com sec, is the officer responsible for communicating with the government, legal bodies, directors, and shareholders of the company. (e.g., the Registrar of Companies, IRD, SFC, and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong).
The company secretary is appointed by the directors of a firm to make sure that the organization sticks with the rules.
The general duties of a company secretary are to ensure that the company follows the regulations, including the organization of the meetings of directors and shareholders.
Here are some other main responsibilities for a company secretary:
A capable company secretary is vital to a company’s success, given that their chief responsibilities involve ensuring their company’s compliance with all laws and regulations that are related to the working of a business.
If a company secretary is not entirely familiar with the relevant rules and corporate laws of Hong Kong, the company runs the risk of non-compliance and the possibility of incurring government penalties and fines.
Company secretaries must be appointed with effect from the date of the Hong Kong company incorporation. The company secretary will be mentioned in the Hong Kong company’s certificate of incorporation.
The FastLane Group offers a full range of specialized company secretarial services, such as filing an annual return, providing a registered address, and being your company secretary.
