All The Relevant Information Concerning Corporate Minute Books

By Sherry Gross


The different activities which a company undertakes are normally recorded in this type of a book. Whenever there is an official meeting in an organization, the corporate minute books must be updated. The owner of any business can record the information they discuss when they meet on a book like this.

These documents are usually handwritten and their page numbers are well written in a secure manner. This is usually meant to keep the records safe from any fraudulent activity. Handwritten books are more secure since it is hard to temper with them. Apart from being hard to forge, people use them to maintain the traditional way of handling such documentation.

Corporations are required by the law to keep records of this nature at any one given time. The information contained in this document should be accessible to any member of the corporation at any time. Apart from availing them to the shareholders, they should also be kept safely. Another thing is that the minutes must be within the main office of the corporation.

Apart from those used by the corporations, there are others which are used even in a courtroom. Usually, the courtroom deputies are the ones in charge of such records. The deputies are usually chosen as the keepers of such books. They can update them when hearings and trials are in progress. In the same way, the secretaries in a corporation are the ones responsible when it comes to updating such records when meetings are in progress.

Technological changes have impacted the manner in which people write minutes. Some businesses nowadays opt for a typed copy of the proceedings in a meeting. The secretary usually types the proceedings and then prints the document. The document is then filed together with the records from previous meetings. Before filing is done, there are people who sign to affirm that whatever has been recorded is true. Also, signing helps in avoidance of duplication.

The minute books found in corporations may contain records and documents of the corporation. The documents and records may include things such as corporate articles, by laws, as well as other annual reports. Also, the resolutions of the shareholders and those of the directors are also recorded. They may also include information pertaining to meetings held by directors and shareholders and their proceedings. Also, the actions and resolutions agreed upon must be put in record.

There are many people who use the information contained in this document for different purposes. There are those who would like to know the history of the corporation and there are others who want to know the current performance. The current performance can easily be compared to that of the past years. The comparison can be of the different managerial teams as well as financial performance.

These books are not made in any special way or material. They can be purchased from any local bookshop or any other store which sells them. There are those which are numbered and others which are not.
