The Singapore Companies Act requires every company to appoint a secretary within 6 months of the date of incorporation.
The position of the secretary cannot be left vacant for more than 6 months under S171(4A) of the Companies Act or the directors may face a penalty of up to $1,000.
The company secretary must be residing locally in Singapore and must not be disbarred under S155B from acting as a secretary.
The sole director and the secretary cannot be the same person under S171(1E) of the Companies Act.
The responsibilities of a company secretary can vary depending on a company’s needs. Below are some examples:
- Maintain and update the company’s registers and minutes of books;
- Administer, attend and prepare minutes of meetings of directors and shareholders;
- Keep company directors aware of the deadlines for annual returns an other filings required by ACRA;
- Update directors and shareholders on relevant changes in corporate regulations
It is important when starting your business to appoint the right company secretary in Singapore so as to give you the peace of mind to develop your business while leaving all the day-to-day legal and compliance requirements of the law to the capable secretary.
