The daily duties of a Company Secretary are generally wide in scope and may range from adminstrative duties such as personnel management and the maintenance of company accounts and registers, to duties as diverse as ensuring that the company complies with regulation or advising the directors on good corporate governance practice. If the company secretary is a natural person, he or she should ordinarily reside in Hong Kong; and if the company secretary is a body corporate, its registered office or place of business should be in Hong Kong.
