The role of the company secretary
A one-day introduction to the role and responsibilities of a company secretary

Who is this course for?: Company secretaries who are new to the role, company secretarial assistants, accountants and finance managers

Level: Introductory  Duration: Full day  CPD: 6 hrs

The days when the company secretary was seen as back-room functionary are long gone. The company secretary of the 21st century is a key advisor to the board and the cornerstone of good corporate governance in any business.

This one-day course offers an introduction to the role and responsibilities of the company secretary and is ideal for anyone who is new to the role, or who is responsible for managing the company secretary, in an unlisted company. It examines the key pieces of law and regulation which help to shape the secretarial function, and looks in detail at the secretary’s many and varied responsibilities – to the board, to regulators, and to investors. This is a practical, interactive session and draws upon real-life scenarios and workshops to illustrate how company secretaries can deal with day-to-day tasks and procedures.
