3 Duties

Statutory filings — annual return, changes of directors, registered office, charges, and resolutions requiring registration. Registers and records — members, directors, charges, minutes; open to inspection as the Act provides. Meetings — issuing notices with the correct period, the agenda and the explanatory statement; recording minutes and resolutions. Compliance advice — drawing the board's attention to the requirements that apply to a proposed course of action. Communication with members — dividends, reports, and the notice of meetings. Reporting concerns — where a director's conduct is unlawful, the secretary's duty follows the company, not the director.
