Questions about Secretarial Audit, Due Diligence & Corporate Governance
Common questions we are asked on this practice area. If yours is not covered here, get in touch and we will answer it directly.
Secretarial Audit is mandatory for listed companies and for other classes of company that cross the thresholds prescribed under the Companies Act. Many unlisted companies also commission one voluntarily before a fundraise or a transaction. We can assess whether it applies to you and, if it does not, whether a voluntary compliance review would still be worthwhile.
It tests whether the company has complied with the applicable corporate and securities laws over the period — board and general meeting processes, statutory registers, filings, related-party matters and the specific regulations that apply to your sector. The output is a report identifying observations, qualifications and the corrective steps required.
We review the corporate records an investor or acquirer will ask for: incorporation and constitutional documents, share capital history and cap table, board and shareholder approvals, statutory registers, filings, material contracts and any litigation or regulatory exposure. The report flags gaps and, importantly, tells you what can be cured before diligence begins.
Yes. We help set up a compliance management framework — a mapped calendar of obligations, clear ownership, evidence and record-keeping standards, and periodic review — so compliance is maintained through the year rather than reconstructed at year end.
