Webinar - The role and responsibilities of the company secretary in relation to the board

The unsung powerhouse of governance

Behind every high-performing board is a Company Secretary who ensures seamless governance, regulatory compliance, and strategic alignment. As the trusted adviser to directors, the Company Secretary holds a unique position—balancing corporate authority, ethical integrity, and practical judgement to navigate complex governance landscapes.

Whether in a listed company, a not-for-profit, or a government entity, this role is far more than just administrative; it is pivotal in shaping decision-making, mitigating risks, and upholding the organisation’s reputation. However, with great influence comes potential for conflict—demanding discretion, diplomacy, and deep technical expertise.
