A company secretary’s main functions are to oversee the company’s day to day administration and ensure the company complies with the law and observes its own regulations.
Duties include:
- Statutory Duties under the Companies Acts
- Duty to exercise due care and diligence
- Duty of disclosure of certain personal information
- Administrative duties
Irish companies require an individual (although corporate secretaries are allowed) over the age of 18 to act as the company secretary. This includes single member private limted companies. The company secretary maintains company records, files the annual returns and carries out tasks from the articles of association.
Does every company need a company secretary?
Every company registered under the provisions of the Companies Acts 1963-2013, is required to have a company secretary. The company secretary may be one of the directors, but whether this is the case or not, the company secretary and the directors are considered to be the officers of the company.
