Company Secretarial
Company secretarial is often forgotten about, but it is by no means a less fundamental part of your overall corporate compliance obligations. Since 6 April 2008, there is no longer a legal requirement to appoint a specific person as your company secretary (unless expressly included in your articles of association). However, the company secretarial duties remain mandatory. It is particularly crucial to ensure your company secretarial is being managed appropriately, as there are serious consequences for failure to do so. These can range from receiving heavy fines to more severe penalties such as being struck off the company registers or company director disqualification.
