Corporate secretarial compliance

Meeting regulatory, legal and entity governance obligations is an increasingly essential and time-consuming task. Ensuring compliance and creating good corporate governance is a priority for all companies, but it can strain your resources. Forvis Mazars’ corporate secretarial team can manage all your compliance milestones, allowing your team to focus on core duties.

Our approach

Most companies work hard to comply with the legal and regulatory frameworks where they operate. But a shifting regime of rules and regulations can put a strain on in-house teams as they try to stay on top of new developments across other jurisdictions. 

Companies that can keep up with their statutory compliance obligations often benefit from improved performance and are able to better control procedures and processes in their business. Company secretarial support can be critical to reducing risks and limiting exposure to the costs of compliance default, such as fines, prosecution, or director disqualifications. 

At Forvis Mazars, we take care of every aspect of your corporate secretarial requirements in every jurisdiction in which you operate. We take pride in the knowledge that by helping you stay compliant, we play a part in helping you flourish. The advice and support of our dedicated professionals will ensure you meet and exceed your compliance obligations.
