Corporate Secretary
Every Singapore-incorporated company is required to appoint a Corporate Secretary to ensure ongoing compliance with statutory and regulatory obligations. Our Corporate Secretary services provide structured, reliable support to help companies meet ACRA requirements accurately and on time, allowing directors to focus on running the business.
What Is a Corporate Secretary?
A Corporate Secretary is a statutory officer responsible for maintaining a company’s compliance with the Singapore Companies Act. The role includes ensuring proper governance, timely filings, maintenance of statutory registers, and preparation of corporate resolutions.
The Corporate Secretary acts as the primary compliance anchor between the company, its directors, and regulatory authorities such as ACRA.
