FAQs
1. Do all companies need a Company Secretary?
Under Singapore’s Company Law, it is mandatory for each company to designate a Company Secretary, with the stipulation that the position cannot remain vacant for over six months. The role of the Company Secretary is to ensure the company’s adherence to pertinent legislation and regulations. You may also become your own Company Secretary, provided that you are a local Singapore resident and not the sole director of the company. However, undertaking this role requires proficiency in statutory obligations, including the preparation of necessary various documentation such as the annual return to ACRA.
2. What are the specific legal and compliance responsibilities of a Company Secretary?
A Company Secretary is responsible for ensuring compliance with statutory requirements, maintaining accurate corporate records, filing necessary documents with regulatory authorities, and advising the board of directors on governance matters, among other crucial legal and compliance responsibilities.
3. What risks do companies face without a Company Secretary?
- Non-Compliance Penalties: Failure to meet statutory requirements can result in substantial fines and legal consequences.
- Operational Disruptions: Inadequate record-keeping and delayed filings can disrupt operations and damage the company’s credibility.
