A step-by-step guide to the procedures that should be undertaken by a company secretary. Many small businesses and their advisers need to know the legal requirements but do not have a specialist knowledge of this area. This work explains what duties exist and how these can be discharged. Assuming no prior knowledge of companies or company law, it comprises specimen minutes, letters and agendas, which can be used by secretaries to draft their own documents. There are also references to the provisions of the Companies Act 1989. In addition to those with the responsibility, but perhaps not formal training, of a company secretary, it should also be of interest to firms of accountants and solicitors who advise businesses, management trainers and enterprise advisers.
