Corporate And Secretarial Practice

Introduction Corporate Regulatory and Secretarial Compliances

With a fast-growing pace of the economy, India has become the most complex jurisdiction in terms of governance and regulatory compliance, wherein the government is emphasizing on a good corporate governance model for the corporates in India, and secretarial compliances have now been keenly monitored by the regulatory authorities. In case of non-compliance, the consequences can be quite severe. It is therefore very important for the corporates to follow the diligent processes in order to be compliant with the secretarial and regulatory requirements. In addition, laws keep evolving to cater to changing business environments and regulatory policies and hence, corporate governance is another current focus area for companies and regulators to ensure that shareholder rights and values are not compromised, which requires constant handholding for companies to be compliant and achieve success.
