Abstract

The comparative analysis is made based on the provisions in the Companies Act and the Code of Corporate Governance in the three countries.

These requirements are similar in the UK, Malaysia and India, except that in UK only public company are required to have a company secretary. In general, all countries agreed being a member of a professional body is the basic qualification required to become the company secretary. In addition, the responsibilities of the company secretary were not clearly specify in the Companies Act of both UK and Malaysia.
