A no-nonsense guide to core company secretarial functions.

Every company in the UK is required by law to have a named company secretary, but many directors and managers are unsure about exactly what this means for their organisation.

As with previous editions, the fourth edition of One Stop Company Secretary provides practical, accessible advice and guidance of the whole range of company secretarial functions, including company forms, meetings and minutes, shareholding and dividends and reports and returns.

Throughout, the A-Z entries are illustrated by sample documents, cases studies, checklists, warning notes and hints and tips.The new edition has been updated and refreshed to include the most recent developments in legislation, regulation and best practice.
