Being A Company Secretary

Company secretaries must be aware of: The Companies Acts 1985 and 1989, The Insolvency Act, The Directors Disqualification Act, and a multitude of statutory procedures and filing requirements.

If you don't comply with any of these, your company and its officers may soon be facing heavy financial penalties!

This course is run in conjunction with Gee Publishing Ltd.
