What are the duties and responsibilities of a Singapore company secretary?

The company secretary ensures that the company meets its obligations under the Companies Act on time. The main duties are maintaining statutory books and registers, preparing minutes of board and general meetings, and filing with ACRA.

• Maintaining statutory registers such as the registers of directors, company secretaries, beneficial owners (RORC) and nominee directors (ROND)
• Preparing and keeping board resolutions and minutes of general meetings
• Managing the AGM and Annual Return schedule and filing with ACRA
• Filing changes to directors, shareholders, the registered address and so on
• Advising directors on statutory obligations and deadlines

Even when the company secretary handles the work, the directors are also responsible for fulfilling statutory obligations.
