Decision supportCorporate secretarial support is a governance and administration process that helps a company keep its entity records, approvals, registers and recurring obligations organised. The exact requirements depend on the legal form, licensing authority, constitutional documents and current rules.
Create the entity record Maintain the licence, incorporation documents, constitutional records, ownership and director or manager information, authorised signatories, registered address and key authority correspondence.
Control resolutions and approvals Use a clear approval process for changes to activities, managers, shareholders, banking, contracts, financing, related-party matters and other decisions that require documented authority. Keep signed resolutions and evidence of implementation.
Build a governance calendar Track licence renewal, filing, board or owner approvals, registered-address updates, tax registrations, document renewals and internal review deadlines. Assign an owner and evidence location for each item.
Define the boundary Corporate secretarial support does not automatically provide legal advice, tax advice or assurance. The scope should identify the licensing authority, entity type, actions included, documents required and matters requiring a qualified specialist.
