Company Secretarial Services
The obligations placed on the officers of a company to maintain various statutory records and fulfill various compliance and reporting duties are often not fully understood or given priority and are therefore neglected. These obligations are prescribed by The Companies Act 1985 and imposed upon the officers of a company who are principally the directors and secretary.
Failure to comply with these can result in fines both for the company and the officers concerned. Persistent failure could ultimately lead to an individual being banned from being a company director. Compliance with these obligations are also taken into account by a Liquidator in the event of a companys failure and would weigh in any recommendation to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for a disqualification order under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
Complimenting our financial management services, Insight Associates operates a company secretarial service for the majority of its clients. This comprehensive service ensures that all day to day compliance and reporting obligations are dealt with.
