About this course
The course is designed mainly for newly appointed Company Secretaries (including deputies and assistants), although people often find it useful as a refresher.
This is the first part of a two-day course. Company Secretary’s Role Part 2 deals with other core duties of the company secretary relating to shares, share capital changes, group structures, matters for which shareholder approval is required and how it can be obtained, accounts and auditors, and getting rid of unwanted companies. It also covers the duties of directors in order to help you keep your directors legal.
Although we would encourage delegates to attend Parts 1 and 2, attendance on Part 1 may suffice for those who want an overview of the role. If you choose to attend both parts, you can attend on successive days or leave a gap between attending each part. Attendance on both parts can be booked separately.
