FAQs on Corporate Secretary Services
Yes, it is mandatory for all Singapore incorporated companies to appoint a corporate secretary within six months of incorporation, according to the Companies Act.
A corporate secretary in Singapore must be a natural person residing in the country, and possess the necessary knowledge and experience to discharge the duties of the role. They should have a strong understanding of Singapore's legal and regulatory requirements, as well as corporate governance practices.
While it is possible for a company director to serve as a corporate secretary, it is not recommended for a sole director of a company to also act as the corporate secretary. This is because the responsibilities of a corporate secretary involve ensuring compliance and impartiality in company matters, which can be challenging when one person is in charge of both roles.
A corporate secretary is responsible for filing annual returns with ACRA within 30 days of the company's Annual General Meeting (AGM). For newly incorporated companies, the first AGM must be held within 18 months of incorporation, while subsequent AGMs should be held every calendar year with no more than 15 months between each AGM.
Yes, a corporate secretary may be held liable for the company's non-compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements if they fail to fulfill their duties properly. Penalties for non-compliance can include fines and, in severe cases, imprisonment.
To change your corporate secretary, you will need to first notify your current corporate secretary of the intended change and obtain their resignation. Following this, you should appoint a new corporate secretary by passing a board resolution. Lastly, you must inform ACRA of the change by filing the necessary forms within 14 days of the appointment.
