FAQs
What does a company secretary do?
A company secretary ensures your company meets its legal obligations under the Companies Act 1993 — maintaining statutory records, filing with the Companies Office, managing board documentation, and advising directors on governance matters.
Do we need a company secretary if we are a small company?
While not legally required for all companies, having a company secretary ensures compliance, reduces director risk, and provides professional governance support — valuable at any size.
What are the key responsibilities of directors in New Zealand?
Directors must act in good faith, in the best interests of the company, exercise care and diligence, and not trade recklessly. We help directors understand and meet these obligations.
How often should a board meet?
Most boards meet monthly or quarterly. We help set the right cadence based on your organisation’s size, complexity, and stage of growth, and ensure meetings are well-prepared and documented.
Can you manage our annual shareholder meetings?
Yes. We handle end-to-end planning and delivery of AGMs and special meetings, including notices, proxies, resolutions, and minutes.
What is audit liaison and do we need it?
Audit liaison involves managing information requests and coordination with external auditors. If your entity is audited, having a professional manage this process saves time and ensures a smoother audit.
Can you help with IR886 or other IRD disclosures?
Yes. We assist with foreign trust disclosures (IR886) and other IRD filings that require governance-grade care, coordinating with your trustees and legal advisors as needed.
