Certificate in Company Secretarial Practice - Part II - Company Law

Nowadays, the company secretary, as a top administrator, plays a vital role in all organizations, whether bearing the title of secretary, executive officer, chief administrator, or some similar designations.

Basically, company secretarial work involves two main areas: general administration and legal undertaking. General administrative work includes responsibilities like company registration procedures, preparing memorandum and articles of association, prospectuses and maintaining statutory records.

Legal duties involve providing legal support to the authorized legal consultants of the company on matters like law of meetings, accounts and reports, and amalgamation and reconstructions. The complexity of the legal aspects lies in the fact that adjustment tends to be quite frequent. With the aim of providing a practical guide for those working in the company secretarial field, the HKMA organizes this course to provide them with what books do not and cannot cover: real-life case studies.

This course consists of three parts. Participants can choose to enroll in either one, two or all parts of the course.

Part III of the course is a follow-up of the Certificate Course on Company Secretarial Practice – Part I & Part II, in which participants gain a thorough understanding of company laws and procedures relating to private companies, while Part III serves to provide a practical guide to lead students through different stages of flotation and post-listing compliance.
