## Can the company secretary make decisions for my company?

Last updated: 17 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

No. The company secretary administers compliance — filings, registers, resolutions — and holds no power over business decisions, money or strategy. Decisions belong to directors and shareholders; the secretary documents and lodges them. Your secretary has no access to your bank account and no vote on your board.

Also asked as: secretary power in company; does cosec control company; setiausaha ada kuasa ke; secretary access to bank account.

This separation is why appointing an external secretary is safe: you're delegating paperwork and statutory accountability, not control.
