Writing Board Resolutions and Company Secretarial Documents

Boards and committees rely on precise documents such as resolutions, notices and registers, yet these are often drafted inconsistently and later cause confusion or disputes. This course teaches company secretaries and governance staff across Africa to draft clear, accurate secretarial documents that stand up to scrutiny. Delegates practise writing resolutions, notices of meeting and supporting records that reflect decisions correctly.
