Company directors who underrate the importance of the role of the company secretary do so at their peril.

It is true that there are no qualification requirements for secretaries of private companies and certain filing and disclosure obligations are more generous for private companies than they are for public companies. However, directors and secretaries of private and public companies can be fined and face criminal prosecution for failure to comply with the administrative, disclosure and filing requirements of the Companies Acts.

At Squires & Co. we provide advice and assistance to Company Secretaries or a fully outsourced solution through our body corporate - Squires Corporate.
