Company Secretarial Services

“And so while the great ones depart to their dinner, the secretary stays, growing thinner and thinner, racking his brain to record and report what he thinks that they think that they ought to have thought.”

Arthur Bryant

In our experience, companies outsource their secretariat function for one of two reasons, cost savings or expertise. With Comply Corporate you receive both, a company secretary that is an expert in their craft and available at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee.

Comply Corporate’s secretarial solutions can be tailored to meet your needs. We can act as your named company secretary or alternatively support your in-house company secretary. However our support is structured, you can expect peace of mind that the statutory duties of a company secretary will be covered and that your company will operate within a governance framework suitable for its size and goals.

At a minimum you can expect a Comply Corporate company secretary to cover the standard secretarial services including (but not limited to):

  • Board and Committee meeting management – includes collation and dispatch of meeting materials, attendance of meetings and minute taking

  • Shareholder meeting management – includes the Company’s AGM and drafting of a standard resolution Notice of Meeting

  • Lodgement of statutory reports with ASX and ASIC and management of timelines

  • Maintenance of statutory Company registers

  • Liaison with regulators (e.g. ASX, ASIC and APRA) and stakeholders

However, a Comply Corporate company secretary is so much more than the standard requirements. With decades of professional services and governance experience, as well as being experts in the ASX Listing Rules, you can expect your Comply Corporate company secretary to be a trusted advisor capable of guiding your board and company through its regulatory requirements and ensuring the highest standards of corporate governance.

Your Comply Corporate company secretary will also be able to provide the additional services listed under Corporate Advisory Services and Other Governance and Compliance Services.
