This can be both long and short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also elected by the company shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secretaries are the directors\u2019 guiding hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They take care of company compliance. While mostly an administrative role, a secretary will act as the bridge between the company and it\u2019s directors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secretaries and directors are part and parcel of any

implemented through Form 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional reading: <a href=\"\/srilanka\/company-secretary\/\">How to choose the right company secretary for your business<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
