Diligence & Governance

Corporate records that
are audit-clean.

ROC compliance, statutory registers, board and shareholder records, and related-party scrutiny — the secretarial foundation a public listing demands.

Secretarial diligence is the connective tissue of an IPO — the proof that the company has been governed and administered correctly since incorporation. Gaps here are common, and they surface at the worst possible moment if not addressed early.

Statutory records & filings.

We conduct a thorough review of the company's statutory registers, board and general-meeting minutes, share-transfer records and ROC filings under the Companies Act. The aim is to confirm that the corporate history is complete, consistent and properly documented — and to remediate any historical gaps before they attract scrutiny.

Related-party & compliance review.

We scrutinise related-party transactions for proper approval and disclosure, verify compliance with applicable secretarial standards, and ensure the company's policies and registers are aligned with the requirements that take effect on listing. This work dovetails directly with the corporate governance framework a listed company must operate.
