WHAT IS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE?
Corporate governance is all about how companies are managed and overseen. The company secretary is a key part of this, making sure the company follows rules, keeps good records, and helps communication between the board, management, and shareholders. But corporate governance goes beyond just these tasks – it's about having rules and practices that make sure companies are open, accountable, and behave ethically.
WHAT IS COMPANY SECRETARY?
A Company Secretary is someone appointed by a company to make sure it follows all the rules and laws in Singapore.
