What a digital Company Secretary does for your Sdn Bhd: maintaining statutory registers, preparing board resolutions, and facilitating AGM procedures.
The Backbone of Malaysian Corporate Governance
Section 235 of the Companies Act 2016 requires every company in Malaysia to appoint at least one qualified Company Secretary who is a member of a prescribed professional body (such as MAICSA, MIA, or Malaysian Bar) or holds a valid secretarial license issued by the SSM.
Core Responsibilities of Your Company Secretary
- Maintaining Statutory Registers: Keeping official registers of members, directors, secretaries, managers, and charges.
- Drafting Statutory Resolutions: Preparing written circular resolutions of directors and shareholders for banking authorizations, dividend payments, and share transfers.
- Statutory Filings: Lodging official forms on MyCoID and MBRS for changes in directorship, address, or paid-up capital.
- Advisory on Legal Compliances: Ensuring deadlines under the Companies Act 2016 are observed to prevent director disqualification.
Modern digital CoSec retainers typically start from RM60 to RM150 per month, offering paperless board resolutions and digital signature convenience.
