Directors get a clearer view of whether the company has followed corporate law processes.
MR-3 Reporting
Applicable companies annex the Secretarial Audit Report with the Board’s Report.
ROC Filing Review
Annual and event-based filings are mapped against corporate events and records.
Governance Check
Board meetings, notices, minutes, disclosures and Secretarial Standards are reviewed.
