Under the terms of the new Companies Act there are soon to be a number of significant and wide ranging changes that will impact upon the role of the Company Secretary.
There will be an increase in the liability on individual companies to comply with the Companies Act with regards to corporate governance, the keeping of statutory records for which there will be increased and, in some cases, severe penalties for non-compliance. As a result, the company corporate administration role will become far more important and will involve personal consequences for Company Directors in the event of non-compliance.
In addition, over the last twelve months Companies House has started to refine its online filing service which will enable us to file the vast majority of documents online via the website. This will create a smoother and more efficient process of filing documents on your behalf and save money at the same time.
A professional Company Secretary will provide peace of mind at a moderate cost. We will ensure that you are fully compliant with the new Act and remove the administrative burden that it will entail.
