What is a qualified company Secretary?
Company secretary (or corporate secretarial) is responsible for the administrative work of a company, ranging from reporting and updating of company information on ACRA to preparing the agenda for annual general meetings (AGMs) and recording minutes of the AGM.
The responsibilities a corporate secretary undertakes include:
- Updating and filing with ACRA
- Maintenance and upkeep of statutory registers
- Preparation of board meetings and AGMs
- Miscellaneous services like:
- Reminders of filing deadlines
- Ensure the safekeeping and proper use of the company seal
- Monitoring shareholder register and movement of shareholders

Who can be a Company Secretary?
A company secretary is an officer of a company who manages all the statutory requirements of a business and acts as an advisor to the directors and the shareholders of a company.
A person should meet the following conditions to be appointed as a company secretary:
- Should be a natural person,
- Should be a resident of Singapore,
- Should not have been debarred under section 155B from acting as secretary of the company,
- Should not be a sole director of the company,
- Should have the following qualifications:
- For a private company, the individual need not be a professionally qualified secretary.
- For a public company, the individual needs to be a professionally qualified secretary like a lawyer, accountant, or chartered secretary, or been a secretary of a public company for at least 3 years in the preceding 5 years.
A foreigner residing in Singapore can also be appointed as a company secretary, provided they have a valid work visa. The company would either need to sponsor an Employment Pass (EP) or an S Pass for the foreigner to work for them or hire an EnterPass holder for the position.
Every business entity, except for a Sole Proprietorship, Limited Partnership (LP), and Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), is required to appoint a corporate secretary in Singapore. Companies should also note that the position of a company secretary cannot be left vacant for more than 6 months.
What are the duties and responsibilities of the Company Secretary?
The company secretary has to ensure that a company’s documentation, annual filing, and other statutory needs are in place. Their takes vary from company to company, but some of the basic ones include:
- Maintaining and updating company registers
- Preparing the books of accounts
- Organizing the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and other board meetings
- Making and circulating the minutes of the meetings (MOM)
- Keeping the directors aware of the tasks they need to perform and the deadlines for the same
- Filing the annual returns
- Updating any changes in the company’s particulars on ACRA via BizFile
- Updating company’s officers’ details on ACRA
- Making sure there is enough insurance cover for the company, office, directors, and other officers and staff.
- Corresponding with the shareholder and addressing their queries.
Today, the company secretary is supposed to do much more than what is mentioned in their contract. They are expected to act as an advisor to the management. And also, in case of any issues between the shareholders and the directors, resolve them. That’s why appointing an accomplished and qualified company secretary is a must.
A good corporate secretary would always be proactive and keep themselves updated with all the new rules and regulations. They should be able to advise the management on matters related to human resources matters, bank loans, mergers and acquisitions, and if legally trained, on legal matters as well.
It is also the secretary’s responsibility to be trustworthy and act in the best interest of the company. There shouldn’t be any conflict of interest and he/she shouldn’t make any illegal profits in the name of the company or by disclosing the company’s confidential details.
