Secretarial & Regulatory FAQ

Aside from fulfilling legal mandates, your secretary maintains statutory files, logs changes to shareholder records, acts as an official liaison with SSM, provides registered corporate office space, and signs official documents to verify board decisions.
According to standard secretarial ethics, an outgoing secretary may exercise a lien over corporate records until outstanding invoices are settled. We recommend settling accounts or arranging payment terms to ensure a smooth transition of documents.
Late lodgements trigger progressive compound penalties starting at RM50 to RM1,000+. Persistent non-compliance can escalate to formal enforcement under Section 688, potentially resulting in court fines of up to RM50,000 against company directors.
