The 21st Century Company Secretary

3.0  Conclusion

It is therefore abundantly clear that the role of a Company Secretary has evolved into a now accepted executive, compliance, administrative and corporate governance officer of the company. A company secretary is, therefore, an important officer of the company the selection of which must be carefully reasoned. Given his duties and responsibilities as outlined in the common law and now codified in CA 2017, only qualified individuals or corporates with the requisite experience ought to ascend to this position.
