Company Secretarial Services for Listed Companies

Company Secretarial Services for Listed Companies

It is enshrined in law, specifically the Hong Kong Company Ordinance, that companies whether public or private have a company secretary. The roles and responsibilities of the Company Secretary can range from administrative duties such as HR issues to being the keyholder of company accounts and registers, but importantly they are responsible that the company is always in compliance regulations or needs to advise the directors on good corporate governance and best practices.

Company Secretarial Services for Listed Companies in Hong Kong

There is a Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries which lays out the ethical and practical standards for Chartered Company Secretaries. While all Hong Kong listed companies must include someone who fulfils the Company Secretary role, it is not necessary that they be solely employed by your company. Rather than assigning a member of your team to act as Company Secretary, however, you can have a member of our team take care of that for you.

Acting as a Hong Kong Company Secretary for a listed company requires expertise that is vastly different from that required of Company Secretaries for private businesses. A very limited number of professional service providers can offer company secretarial services in Hong Kong, and we are proud to say that Fung, Yu & Co. CPA is among the trusted few.
