Full Compliance with ACRA, IRAS, and the Companies Act
All companies in Singapore must follow strict compliance rules under the Companies Act. The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) enforce these requirements.
Common compliance duties include:
- Preparing and filing Annual Returns with ACRA
- Holding Annual General Meetings (AGMs)
- Maintaining updated company registers
- Informing ACRA of changes in company structure
Our team supports your business in all these areas. We ensure your filings are timely, accurate, and up to date. This reduces your risk of penalties or delays that could affect your business.
Why Corporate Secretarial Services Are Crucial in Singapore
Legal Requirements by ACRA
Singapore law states that every private limited company must appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation. This person must be a resident of Singapore and should be qualified to handle statutory duties. A company cannot operate without a secretary beyond this period.
The Role of a Corporate Secretary
A corporate secretary plays a vital part in company administration. Their tasks include:
- Preparing and filing Annual Returns
- Drafting Board Resolutions and meeting minutes
- Organising AGMs and EGMs
- Maintaining registers of members, directors, and shareholders
- Advising directors on legal obligations
- Ensuring the company follows its constitution and regulatory rules
This position requires attention to detail and knowledge of corporate laws.
Risks of Non-Compliance
Companies that fail to meet their obligations face serious outcomes:
- Financial penalties from ACRA or IRAS
- Delays in business operations
- Striking off from the Companies Register
- Loss of business credibility and client trust
