The company secretary is responsible for ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, maintaining appropriate corporate governance practices and providing support to the board of directors.

Their responsibilities include tasks such as filing statutory documents, organizing board meetings, maintaining company records and advising on corporate governance matters.

Company secretaries are important as they help a company meet its legal obligations, protect shareholder interests and ensure effective decision-making within the organization.

Singapore companies must comply with various statutory requirements, including:

• Appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation.
• The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held within 15 months of the last AGM.
• Submit annual returns to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).
• Maintain appropriate accounting records and prepare financial statements in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (SFRS).
• Comply with tax obligations, such as filing tax returns and paying taxes.
• Comply with any regulations relating to employment, intellectual property, data protection and other relevant laws.

While it is possible to appoint company directors to perform the duties of a company secretary themselves, this can be time-consuming and requires understanding of legal and regulatory requirements.
