A SELF-MANAGED WRITTEN DISTANCE LEARNING COURSE – Responsibilities and legal obligations in company secretarial administration are critical – but they don’t have to be daunting. Increase your knowledge in just 6 modules over 6 weeks (approx. 3-4 hours per week)
|
|
It’s true that the Company Secretary’s role is becoming more complex each year. There are now over 200 offences under company law, which can lead to company directors being fined along with the company secretary; in serious cases a custodial sentence can result.
The seriousness of the role makes it essential to stay up-to-date with new developments and to understand their implications across a wide range of business activities. A company’s reputation is one of its most prized possessions in pursuit of sustained growth. It is essential that this asset is not undermined by breaches of the law or failure to follow best practice.
Being able to access this information without sustaining long periods of study away from the office is difficult. However there is a sensible way to tackle the learning curve. Falconbury have designed this course that gives you expert, practical guidance on the complex duties, rights and responsibilities of this crucial role – all in just six modules.
