The company secretary's handbook - Helen Ashton

All public companies are required by law to appoint a Company Secretary. Public and private companies have to ensure that they comply with a number of statutory requirements, otherwise they may be criminally liable for defaults and errors can lead to civil penalties.

This fully revised new edition of The Company Secretary's Handbook is a comprehensive, jargon-free guide. Up-to-date with the latest legislation in the new Companies Act, it covers the formation of companies, corporate governance and day-to-day administration, keeping the statutory records, annual routines and dissolution. It also includes useful addresses and examples of all the necessary official documentation. This practical handbook will help all companies comply with Company Law.
