Company Minutes are essential corporate governance documents required under Australian law, particularly the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). They must be prepared for all board meetings, annual general meetings, and other significant corporate meetings. Company Minutes serve as the official record of corporate decisions, discussions, and actions taken during meetings, providing legal protection and historical documentation of company governance. They must include specific information such as date, time, location, attendees, resolutions passed, and other pertinent details of the meeting. These documents are crucial for regulatory compliance, audit purposes, and potential legal proceedings, making them indispensable for Australian companies of all sizes and sectors.
