ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The supervision of administrative services by different supervisory authorities results in, inter alia, the non-uniform application of its provisions on the Companies Law Cap. 113. Resolutions at shareholders’ meetings differ from decisions at the meetings of directors and the role of the secretary it is not clear to everyone. The perception of the employees of the sector which documents must be kept and their vocabulary, how they are signed and by whom, is not the same and this results in their mechanical preparation, mistakes and frictions. 

What is the difference between extraordinary general meetings and annual general meetings, when extraordinary or special resolutions are adopted? When a board meeting must be held and what decisions are taken in board meetings? What is the meaning of the words “quorum” and “majority”, when and why a true copy of a resolution is required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies are just some of the questions which will be answered in this seminar.

This seminar is necessary in order to align the participants with the legislation, the basic knowledge and the documents that must be kept for the meetings of a private company. Quality of services will be increased and the participants will no longer perform tasks mechanically.

This programme may be approved for up to 5 CPD units in Law. Eligibility criteria and CPD Units are verified directly by your association, regulator or other bodies which you hold membership.
