Does a company secretary have any powers?
No, but the Act allows them to sign the following re-registration applications:
the re-registration of a limited company as unlimited - section 49(4) of the Act;
the re-registration of an unlimited company as limited - section 51(4);
the re-registration of a public company as a private company - section 53(1)(b); and
the re-registration of a private company as a public company - section 43(3).
The secretary is also allowed to sign most of the forms prescribed under the Act.
