Profile of a Corporate Secretary in Latin America
Resumen
The Corporate Secretary, under the current and modern approach, is more than a note-taker in the sessions of the Board of Directors. Given the functional and hierarchical position the Secretaries have, the fact that they manage and channel high-relevance information within the company makes the position a nexus between the Board of Directors and Upper Management that allows for more efficiency in the process of decision-making and its proper supervision as well as in reaching higher standards of corporate governance.
This study is based on the desire to learn how the duties of the Corporate Secretary have been exercised within the companies in the countries in the region. The results will make it possible to know what kinds of measures or policies could be adopted to enhance that role as well as identify opportunities for improvement in those companies that would like to reinforce them.
