Why File Change of Company Secretary with CAC?

The CAC mandates that most companies, except small ones, appoint a company secretary. For a public company, the officer must be a member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSAN), a legal practitioner, a member of a professional body of accountants, or someone who has held a public company secretary position for at least three of the five years preceding their appointment.

A firm or body corporate can also serve as a company secretary if its members meet these qualifications. Notifying the CAC of a change in the company's secretary is mandatory.

Accurate Public Records: Filing ensures that the official public record on the CAC portal accurately reflects who holds the company secretary position. This is essential for credibility with banks, investors, and regulators.
Prevents Administrative Issues: Keeping your records up-to-date helps you avoid administrative delays and complications when performing other post-incorporation filings or responding to due diligence requests.
Enhanced Corporate Governance: Appointing a qualified secretary who is officially recognized by the CAC ensures your company operates efficiently and meets all statutory and regulatory obligations.
