Functions of a company secretary, or in some organisations, board secretaries have been recognised by law as one of the principal officers of the company. Although the role of company secretary is not well-defined in the Middle East yet, but with recent developments and new corporate governance requirement in the region, a company secretary has to be versatile enough to carry out functions in various areas like finance, accounts, legal administration and personal division.

The changing global economic scenario has put forth fresh demands on the role of a company secretary. The roles and duties of the company secretary have expanded. With the change, secretaries named in the registers of companies find themselves now fitting the role of advisors or consultant to a company. They are constantly relied upon by board members for guidance and advice on matters that may relate to the company or to their position as members of the Board. Company secretaries in guiding their fellow board members have to be familiar with the many legislatures and regulations that govern a particular company.

Similar to the smashing success of the Middle East Company Secretary in Dubai (February 2010), Middle East Company Secretary, Bahrain outlines the applicability of regulations and the legal requirements set forth on company secretaries. Participants will explore the significant role of the company secretaries and their expected conduct and responsibilities in handling every aspects that need to be covered for incorporation, formation, promotion, amalgamation, reorganisation or winding up of an organisation.
