Can Our Finance Manager Also Be Our Company Secretary? Seeking Advice on Compliance Issues

Sudha Karan
We are a newly established manufacturing company, and we are now recruiting key people for our company. For initial operations, we have recruited an HR manager, a finance manager, a project manager, and one advisor. Currently, we are using a company secretary from a consultant. I have a doubt that since the Finance Manager is a Company Secretary Certified person, the Finance Manager can act as our internal Company Secretary as well as the Finance Manager. Could you please advise on any compliance issues regarding this arrangement? Additionally, please note that we will use a third party for auditing purposes.

Are you statutorily required to appoint CS now? There are fewer companies where both roles are performed by one person.
