With the significant increase in the
economy since about a decade, there has been a growing demand in certain
designations of various companies growing up. With government policies stating
to have a secretary in a company is mandatory, many people aim to acquire that
spot. With always having an interest in that designation which is one of the
top level positions in a company, I molded my career in such a way that I have
landed myself becoming a successful company secretary over the years. But still
the excitement for work prevails. Having the responsibility of representing my
company to the outside world and the opportunity of interacting with both the
board of esteemed directors as well as my company itself, I feel it’s an
honorary position to hold in a company. Whether my company is adhering to all the
government laws and legal structures is one of my main duties in the
organization. Guiding the chairman and other esteemed personalities in my
company is a feeling of respect. It’s my duty to comply with the corporate
government regulations under the companies act and rules.
Formation, promotion
of companies and other related matters and incorporation of companies are my
duties which I perform. I have also been assigned with the job of maintaining
secretarial records and registers along with organizing and arranging board and
general meetings and looking over the meetings as well as preparing the
documents and issues to be discussed in the meetings. I have been conferred
with the rights of putting my signature on the final accounts and the annual
reports as well as looking into the secretarial audit. It’s always a pleasure
to advise companies on legal aspects as well as the procedural aspects and
drafting and signing of the legal documents and formation and organization of
the subsidiary words.
With the title of spokesperson
conferred to me by the company, I have the responsibility of representing my
company before the Company Law Board. Maintaining the company records is what I
feel the most difficult part of my designation. I have been assigned with the
rights to preside and declare the board meetings and handle the matters based
on the public issues. Representing my company, I am responsible for the public
issues and the results of the company. I am responsible to ensure that the
company board meetings occur smoothly and also I am responsible for the
transfer of the important information to the important people. Issuing the notices
and the results of the board meetings are one the activities that I perform and
ensuring the safe custody of company seal and share transfers are among the
other functions that are under my designation. One of the major things I have
found out while serving as a company secretary is that one needs to be
completely fit and enthusiastic so as to preside in all the company meetings
that take place otherwise that disrupts the smooth flow in the working of the
company.
