Guidance Note: Company Secretary in a Private Company

This Guidance Note is a practical ‘how to’ guide for private companies covering whether a company secretary is required, how to appoint a company secretary as well as detailing the role & duties of a company secretary. 

It covers the requirements under the Companies Act 2006, what to do if your articles pre-date the Act, the necessary filings at Company House and the core duties of a company secretary.

This guidance has been updated to reflect the changes introduced by the Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Act 2023 as they relate to a company secretary and is a useful ‘aide-memoire’ to a company secretary new to the role, or an invaluable guide to an employee of a small company who has been allotted the task of dealing with company administration.
