Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Learn more about our services, how we support clients, and those all-important details.

A company secretary can be responsible for a wide range of functions, from creating reports to filing statutory documents.

Tasks traditionally associated with company secretarial activity include:

  • maintaining company reports, statutory records and legal documents
  • managing registers, such as mortgage and charges registers
  • filing statutory documents and annual returns to Companies House
  • recording Annual General Meetings (AGM) and liaising with shareholders.

Today, many companies opt not to employ a full-time Company Secretary and instead, entrust their accountants to fulfil these duties.
