Firstly, a company secretary is not the same with your clerk. On the contrary, it holds a high rank in your firm and it is appointed by the directors of a firm.
Furthermore, they need to work and interact with the directors and shareholders of the company.
Moreover, they are also responsible for communicating with the government and legal bodies (e.g. the Registrar of Companies, IRD, SFC, and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong).
Finally and most importantly, they make sure that the organisation stick with the rules.
Hong Kong company secretaries can be either:
A director of a Hong Kong company may also, at the same time, act as the company secretary. However, private Hong Kong companies that only have a sole director cannot have that individual also act as the company secretary.
The general duties of a company secretary are to ensure that the company is in compliance with the regulations regarding the organisation of the meetings of directors and shareholders.
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, their company runs the risk of non-compliance and the possibility of incurring government penalties and fines.
