Secretarial Audit Services under Companies Act

Secretarial Audit Services under Companies Act

Starting and running a company involves more than registration; it also requires continuous compliance. Therefore, Secretarial Audit becomes a crucial process under the Companies Act, 2013 to ensure that your company follows all applicable laws. At Prospect Legal, we help businesses maintain proper records, avoid penalties, and build investor confidence.

Secretarial Audit is conducted by a qualified Company Secretary to examine whether your company complies with corporate laws and regulatory requirements. Moreover, it helps identify compliance gaps before they become legal risks.

Our services include:

  • Reviewing statutory registers and records.

  • Verifying board and general meeting procedures.

  • Checking filings with ROC and other authorities.

  • Ensuring compliance with SEBI and FEMA regulations.

As a result, you gain transparency, credibility, and peace of mind while focusing on growing your business.

Comprehensive Compliance Review and Reporting

Compliance is not just about filing forms; instead, it is about maintaining a strong governance structure. That is why Prospect Legal conducts a detailed review of your company’s compliance framework.

We carefully analyze:

  • Board composition and appointment procedures.

  • Maintenance of minutes and resolutions.

  • Timely filing of annual returns and financial statements.

  • Related party transactions and disclosures.

In addition, we assess whether your company complies with industry-specific laws that may apply to your operations. After completing the audit, we prepare a detailed Secretarial Audit Report in the prescribed format (Form MR-3).

Consequently, you receive a clear compliance status report with practical recommendations. This not only reduces legal exposure but also strengthens your company’s credibility with investors, lenders, and regulatory authorities.

Risk Identification and Corrective Action Support

Even well-managed companies may miss certain compliance requirements. However, early detection can save your business from heavy penalties and reputational damage. Through our Secretarial Audit Services, Prospect Legal identifies risks and offers clear corrective measures.

We help you:

  • Detect non-compliance and reporting lapses.

  • Rectify defective board procedures.

  • Regularize delayed ROC filings.

  • Implement better compliance tracking systems.

Furthermore, we guide directors and management on improving internal compliance practices. Our practical, solution-oriented approach ensures that issues are resolved quickly and efficiently.

As a result, your company stays compliant, avoids unnecessary litigation, and maintains strong corporate governance standards under the Companies Act, 2013.

Ongoing Compliance Management and Advisory

Secretarial Audit should not be treated as a one-time activity. Instead, it should be part of a continuous compliance strategy. Therefore, Prospect Legal offers ongoing advisory support even after the audit is completed.

We assist with:

  • Regular compliance calendars.

  • Drafting board resolutions and notices.

  • Policy formulation and amendments.

  • Liaison with ROC and regulatory authorities.

Additionally, we keep you informed about amendments to the Companies Act and related rules. This proactive guidance ensures that your company remains compliant throughout the year.
