What is the Company Secretarial page for?
Open this screen in Saral/accounts/company-secretarial
The company secretary's job for the whole group on one page: the minute book of board and members' resolutions, share transfers and dividend declarations, each printed on its company's own letterhead and sent for signature; what every company owes Companies House and by when; the statutory registers a company must produce on demand; and each director's loan account read from the balance sheet. All four read the register Company Structure keeps — the entities, their directors, their shareholders — so a resolution names the real board and a dividend splits between the real members. You enter: A resolution: the company, the kind and a template — a director's appointment, a change of name, an interim dividend, a share transfer, a members' special resolution — its facts, and any wording of your own or from the AI writer. Send for signature, or record one signed on paper; A deadline Companies House has not published and no resolution generated; the date a filing was made, which is the only thing that closes it; Which company's registers to view, and Export PDF; The confirmation statement checklist your accountant sends before filing — dropped as a PDF or picture, one or several at once. Saral fills: The resolution's wording from the facts — the heading, the quorum sentence, the operative clauses, the signature block — numbered in one series per kind, and the dividend vouchers from the recipients; The filing calendar from three sources in one list: Companies House's own accounts and confirmation-statement deadlines, the statutory clocks a resolution starts (a form within fourteen days), and what a person added; The registers — members, directors, secretaries, transfers, persons with significant control, charges — from the shareholdings and officers on file and the PSC and charge records fetched from Companies House; Each director's loan balance per company as at the last balance sheet, flagged overdrawn, over the benefit-in-kind threshold or nil. It produces: Signed resolutions and dividend vouchers on the letterhead, through Saral Sign; a PDF of any company's registers; A filing calendar in date order with its urgency, and the directors' loan positions the audit file reads; For each confirmation statement checklist, a verdict — good to file, check first, not ready — and every line it states held against your register and Companies House. Nothing is stored; Saral never files. Where the settings live: The entities, directors, shareholders and company numbers are owned by Company Structure, the one editor of legal identity; the letterhead a resolution prints on by Settings → Your organisation; the DirectorLoan tag by Accounts → Account Reports. Resolutions, filings and registers need the company-structure permission. The templates ship with Saral and are not edited per account.
