ACS (Company Secretary)

A company secretary is a senior position in a private sector company or public sector organization, normally in the form of a managerial position or above.

The company secretary is responsible for the efficient administration of a company, particularly with regard to ensuring compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and ensuring that decisions of the board of directors are implemented.

The company secretary ensures that an organization complies with relevant legislation and regulation, and keeps board members informed of their legal responsibilities. In many countries, private companies have traditionally been required by law to appoint one person as a company secretary, and this person will also usually be a senior board member.
