A company secretary is an officer responsible for the company. Some company secretaries are certified by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries in Hong Kong. The individual will be a gatekeeper for the firm and make sure that the company is full compliant from a corporate governance point of view under the statutory law of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Although it can be often overlooked, the company secretary is a key role with important responsibilities.
Corporate governance in Hong Kong involves paying attention and respecting the interest of a company’s key stakeholders while achieving a company’s objectives. It is a body of rules and process determining the structure of a company. It is the company secretary’s role to make sure that structure is consistently carried out.
Outsourcing your company’s secretarial duties is a great way to save time and money. Especially for foreign entrepreneurs living outside of Hong Kong, such as in Australia or China, the process of registering and up-keeping of a company in Hong Kong can be challenging and time consuming. Our partner Sleek’s services can help maintain the business and fulfil the mandatory law of a company under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, while saving cost on headcount and potential Hong Kong office address.
The Company Ordinance requires every limited company to have a company secretary in Hong Kong. The appointed individual needs to reside in Hong Kong full time, with responsibilities such as preparing for general meetings, maintain the annual documents for the firm, as well as defining the duties of each shareholder and directors.
The designated company secretary’s duties include being responsible for regulating the company operations and corporate governance. Others include preparing for the First Board Resolution, Annual General Meeting, renewal of the Business Registration Certificate documents, as well as informing the directors and members of the listed company on any changes.
