Can The Sole Director Also Be The Corporate Secretary?
- Published: 11 December 2025
No, sole Director cannot be appointed as Secretary pursuant to the Act. The main reason is to provide independent oversight on the corporate governance matters.
If more than one director exists, at least one person must be appointed as corporate secretary to preserve independent governance.
